“If it doesn’t matter in five years, it doesn’t matter.”

I am a part of history whether people want to take it seriously or not.

Men aren’t necessities, they’re luxuries.

I only answer to two people, myself and God.

I felt impotent and out of control, which I really, really hate. I had to find sanctuary in a place where I could gather my thoughts and regain my strength.

Going hungry never bothered me – it was having no clothes.

I’ve been up and down so many times that I feel as if I’m in a revolving door.

Fitness – if it came in a bottle, everybody would have a great body.

I can’t listen to my own voice, I don’t like it. You see all your mistakes when you hear your voice. You see all your imperfections.

Younger men are more supportive and a lot less demanding, and they also have more time for their relationships.

Some guy said to me: Don’t you think you’re too old to sing rock n’ roll? I said: You’d better check with Mick Jagger.

Living your life the way you want to live it is the most important thing so if you have to pay small prices along the way, it’s not important.

Women have to harness their power – it’s absolutely true. It’s just learning not to take the first ‘no.’ And if you can’t go straight ahead, you go around the corner.

Gratitude. Remember they’re giving you their most precious resource: TIME!

Storms make trees take deeper roots.

Intelligence is so damn rare and the people who have it often have such a bad time with it that they get bitter or propagandistic and then it’s not much use.

You can’t appreciate the good times without the bad ones.

Racism does not have a good track record. It’s been tried out for a long time and you’d think by now we’d want to put an end to it instead of putting it under new management.

Wise men say nothing in dangerous times.

The greatest source of happiness is the ability to be grateful at all times.
