“[My family] is one of the strongest families you’re ever likely to see.”

Freedom. I will not give you up.

I had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.

There is no such thing as a reluctant star.

I couldn’t change anything without changing the end position, and I’m perfectly happy now. So whatever I feel in some sense may have been a mistake in the past is, in another sense, not a mistake, because it’s left me here.

I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.

Sex is natural, sex is good/Not everybody does it, but everybody should.

I can’t believe that I’ve written my best work yet. If I believed that, then I wouldn’t bother releasing music anymore.

It’s the ones who resist that we most want to kiss, wouldn’t you say?

I am really not interested or excited by repeating former successes.

Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.

If someone really wants to hurt you, they’ll find a way whatever. I don’t want to live my life worrying about it.

Without despair, we will share, and the joys of caring will not be erased. What has been, must never end, the joys of caring will not be replace.

My music is some of the most honest music that’s been released and I think that’s why people buy it.

I went through a long period where I was afraid of doing things I wanted to do, and you get your courage back, which is what’s important.

I have to believe that somebody up there thinks I’ve still got some work to do.

My mother pretty much used to go along with my dad in that she wanted me to get an education so that if this incredible dream I had didn’t work out, I would have something to fall back on.

My heart is wax molded as she pleases, but enduring as marble to retain.

Out of suffering comes the serious mind; out of salvation, the grateful heart; out of endurance, fortitude; out of deliverance faith. Patient endurance attends to all things.

One can endure sorrow alone, but it takes two to be glad.

By endurance we conquer.

Great companies that build an enduring brand have an emotional relationship with customers that has no barrier. And that emotional relationship is on the most important characteristic, which is trust.

There is no affliction, trial, or labor difficult to endure, when we consider the torments and sufferings which Our Lord Jesus Christ endured for us.

For one pain endured with joy, we shall love the good God more forever.

Truly it is a blessed thing to love on earth as we hope to love in Heaven, and to begin that friendship here which is to endure for ever there.
