“And I thought well, if Tina Turner can go up there and she can give everything for 500 people, no matter how sick I am, I can make it happen too.”

One night love affair, pretending we don’t care, and now we’re left with nothing.

I like the idea of helping people help people.

I remember being in Hollywood at the age of 16 and marveling at the stars. The idea of being part of it never entered my mind. It was too far-fetched.

I draw on my memories but blended with a lot of fantasy.

We were just killing time, we were young and restless, and needed to unwind. There ain’t nothing that lasts forever, forever.

Caught in the crossfire of a silent scream, where one man’s nightmare is another man’s dream.

To be a celebrity, I couldn’t think of anything more cringe-worthy.

If you love animals, don’t eat them.

I pack every minute I can with something to do.

I need to be able to rock out.

Out of the dragon’s claws and into the fire, there’s a moment in every man’s life when he must decide what is wrong and what is right.

Your growth may scare people who never knew change was possible.

The truth is that the only time I’m happy is when I’m doing absolutely nothing. I don’t understand people who like to work and talk about it like it was some sort of goddamn duty. Doing nothing feel like floating on warm water to me. Delightful, perfect.

It’s a matter of taking the side of the weak against the strong, something the best people have always done.

You have to give people something to dream on.

For all their bitching about what’s holding them back, most people have a lot of trouble coming up with the defined dreams they’re being held from.

Celebrate the people in your life who are there because they love you for no other reason than because you are YOU.

I like to think, hopefully, people agree that I’m fashionable.

There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.
