“I want to study marriage. I want to learn about it. I want to know it. I want to figure out whether or not I want to do it. I’m not just going to leap into it, because that’s not good for anybody.”

I don’t date my girlfriend because she’s a model. I date her because I love her.

I don’t know if it’s possible to live the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle and still be romantic.

I’m cocky. It’s different. Cocky is playful.

Chemistry cannot be purchased.

The power and the potency of music will transcend any one person’s opinion about it.

Hey, bro…So there’s like 7,000 paparazzi outside. Maybe two of you guys can roll over, and one of you can grab the Ferrari, and then we can just split? Thanks, bro.

And that’s me. Maybe the reason I was promiscuous and wanted to sleep with a lot of them, is that I love them so much.

I’m not killing myself auditioning, chasing that dream

I do believe that I deserve what I have. I don’t think I’m entitled to it. That’s a big difference.

Real education is about genuine understanding and the ability to figure things out on your own; not about making sure every 7th grader has memorized all the facts some bureaucrats have put in the 7th grade curriculum.

There are times I can’t even figure myself out.

Arthur V. Berger commenting on the music of Aaron Copland: Here is at last an American that we may place unapologetically beside the great recognized creative figures of any other country.

I don’t know. Your the Jedi Master, you figure it out.

If you want to know, life is the principle of self-renewal, it is constantly renewing and remaking and changing and transfiguring itself.

Everything in nature is formed upon the sphere, the cone and the cylinder. One must learn to paint these simple figures and then one can do all that he may wish.

I know my flavor’s going to work because I just know there’s not a lot of guys like me around. So you got to figure out what’s that about you.

Once I realized music was working, I was getting money off of shows and I figured that I could find success through music.
