“It’s only forever, Not long at all.”

Religion is for people who fear hell, spirituality is for people who have been there.

You would think that a rock star being married to a super-model would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is.

I was always accused of being cold and unfeeling. It was because I was intimidated about touching people.

Fame can take interesting men and thrust mediocrity upon them.

Never bored, so I’ll never get old.

I always had a repulsive sort of need to be something more than human.

I can ask for cigarettes in every language.

There’s a terror in knowing what the world is about.

You can’t stand still on one point for your entire life.

I don’t have stylistic loyalty. That’s why people perceive me changing all the time. But there is a real continuity in my subject matter. As an artist of artifice, I do believe I have more integrity than any one of my contemporaries.

The end comes when the infinites arrive.

I’ve come to the realisation that I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing half the time.

If I never wake again, I certainly will have lived while I was alive.

You can neither win nor lose if you don’t run the race

In my madness I see your face in mine.
