“Call me a joker, call me a fool, right at this moment I’m totally cool.”

Say goodbye to Hollywood Say goodbye my baby Say goodbye to Hollywood Say goodbye my baby.

I’m not sure about life after this; god knows I’m not a spiritual man.

There was only really one accident that was kinda bad but it was nothing to do with booze, just bad luck…

There was an edge of, ‘Go away kid, you’re bothering me’. I’ve kicked myself a million times since. I could’ve discovered Whitney Houston.

I see the winos talking to themselves and I can understand.

Slow down you’re doing fine You can’t be everything you want to be Before your time Although it’s so romantic on the borderline tonight Too bad but it’s the life you lead

We never could have come this far I took the good times, I’ll take the bad times I’ll take you just the way you are Don’t go trying some new fashion Don’t change the color of your hair. […] I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are.

I’m writing for the sake of writing music. Whether it gets heard or not isn’t an issue for me. It keeps my own juices going and my mind active.

I’m in a New York state of mind

As a wise man once said, “April Fools Day is for amateurs. You NEVER need an excuse to mess with people’s heads.”

It’s easy to fool the eye but it’s hard to fool the heart.

A fool and his money get a lot of publicity.

Sometimes the fool who rushes in gets the job done.

The difference between us and the other side is that they use populist and…kind of slogans that are…they fool the people.

No matter how large a horse’s ass you are, to stay by your side until death. A fool could tell you this is a bad deal.

I think that there are points where you become so close to an actor,

If you are prepared to make a fool of yourself for them then you usually get that back.
