“Be good to yourself ’cause nobody else has the power to make you happy.”

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.

As long as you find something beautiful, good, and true to believe in and abide by, you have the equivalent of God in your life.

A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals the secret of some hidden treasure.

After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relations.

Nobody minds having what is too good for them.

Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.

Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.

If I could make anything disappear, it would be hate.

I believe that the Good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats and I’m damned if I’m going to use up mine running up and down a street.
