“I have been taken for a ride a couple of times. I’ve been hurt by people who I’ve had a 90 percent possibility of being hurt by.”

At a certain age I just stopped arguing. I realized that there was no way [my father] could see, because for him to approve of what I was doing, he would have to have some belief in me as a musician.

I’d never touch anything. I think it’s foolhardy to play around with the face that you’ve been given. To have a little snip or a tuck, I think, is really quite obscene.

I’m surprised that I’ve survived my own dysfunction, really.

There are very few things in my life that I can’t have if I want them. So when I see something that I can’t have, immediately I’m obsessed by it.

I also think I could probably repeat the commercial success; whether I want to or not is a different matter. I think there is still better work inside me.

This stuff [marijuana] keeps me sane and happy. I’d say it’s a great drug – but obviously it’s not very healthy.

People, you can never change the way they feel. Better let them do what they will. For they will, if you let them, steal your heart.

I seem to think that anything worth having in life has to be painful to attain.

As I became George professionally and everyone called me George, Yog became the name that people who knew me from before started to use. It became more valuable to me.

I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 – in certain parts of the world anyway.

I don’t go for safe options. Romantically, I go for people who are a pain in the ass.

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

Change is a stranger you have yet to know.

I think my idea of a perfect romance is when two people really belong to each other.

I just hope that I’ll stay around musically for as long as I can. I love to think that I will still be satisfying myself and other people as a musician until the day I die.

I wouldn’t marry until I was ready to have children.

I promise you I will do everything just as you ask. But come closer. Let us give in to grief, however briefly, in each other’s arms.

Sometimes it feels like the worlds against me and I feel so empty, but when ur With me it fills me and exposes the real me

Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.

You don’t have to have much to show how much you care.

We loved with a love that was more than love.

I love you more than there are stars in the sky and fish in the sea.

You always miss the chance to fall for someone else, Cause your heart only knows me.
