“Put out the good and keep the bad – don’t believe all you read in the Bible.”

I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics.

I’m as gay as a daffodil, my dear!

You can have everything in the world and still be the loneliest man. And that is the most bitter type of loneliness, success has brought me world idolization and millions of pounds. But it’s prevented me from having the one thing we all need: A loving, ongoing relationship.

I guess I’ve always lived the glamorous life of a star. It’s nothing new – I used to spend down to the last dime.

In fact, we all need danger and excitement.

Money may not buy happiness, but it can damn well give it.

What will I be doing in twenty years’ time? I’ll be dead, darling! Are you crazy?

We don’t do it for the money, we do it for the music.

If I had to do it all over again? Why not, I would do it a little bit differently.

We are all waiting for when there will be peace on earth and the end of the war. If this happens then it would be a miracle.

The more you open up, the more you get hurt. So basically, I’m just riddled with scars and I just don’t want any more.

Love of my life, you’ve hurt me. You’ve broken my heart, and now you leave me. Love of my life, can’t you see? Bring it back, bring it back, and don’t take it away from me, because you don’t know what it means to me.

I never thought of myself as the leader, the most important person, perhaps.

I do not have love does not mean I don’t have anybody.

The bigger, the better; in everything.

If we’re weird onstage, I don’t know what you’d call the Tubes.

A system in which we may have an enforced rest from legislation for two years is not bad.

I have a two-story house and a bad memory, so I’m up and down those stairs all the time. That’s my exercise.

Always be nice to people. Whatever how bad they are to you. To show them you are not like them.

You have good days, you have bad days. But the main thing is to grow mentally.

I don’t want to be a bad role model.

It is better to have a bad method than to have none.

It’s contagious to do great. But once that one bad apple falls, everybody else will fall, and that’s how it is.

As bad as your situation may be, someone else always has it worse than you.
