“If there’s a God in heaven, what’s he waiting for? If He can’t hear the children, then he must see the war.”

I guess that’s why they call it the blues, time on my hands could be time spent with you.

I’m going to fight for human rights, whether I do it silently behind the scenes or vocally so that I get locked up. I can’t just sit back; it’s not in my nature. I can’t sit back and blindly ignore it, and I won’t.

The less I say the more my work gets done.

Don’t let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex. People should be very free with sex, they should draw the line at goats.

There’s a lot of hate in the world.

Ever since I had that interview in which I said I was bisexual it seems twice as many people wave at me in the streets.

I think people should be free to engage in any sexual practices they choose; they should draw the line at goats, though.

The whole point of being in this business and being blessed and being successful is that you’re able to do things for your friends or your family, which means that they can have something special in their lives, too.

It’s the circle of life, and it moves us all, through despair and hope, through faith and love, ’till we find our place, on the path unwinding.

Love’s like a junkie, addiction’s a fact. Passion’s a monkey, you can’t keep off your back.

I was more ashamed that I couldn’t work the washing machine than the fact that I was taking drugs.

I was just genuinely shy. I’d always been a shy kid.

I was sitting in the classroom trying to look intelligent in case the teacher looked at me.

As a child, as a teenager, I was kind of not allowed to wear fashionable clothes.

Bands today have to learn their craft by putting the hard work in that we did when we were young performers.

Nothing I’ve ever done has given me more joys and rewards than being a father to my children.

I would never be a sellout, but you can never be a sellout to kids. Kids is kids!

I believe that the school must represent life – life as real and vital to the child as that which he carries on in the home, in the neighborhood, or on the playground.

I try to keep my kids with me everywhere I go.

As a kid, you learn to measure long before you understand the size or value of anything. Eventually, if you’re lucky, you learn that you’ve been measuring all wrong.

I was that little kid: I was the one that was looking up to athletes and getting to see them and getting to be a part of it, and I remember those experiences.

If your children ever find out how lame you really are, they’ll murder you in your sleep.

As a mother, the one thing that always goes through your head is, You’re never enough. You never can be enough – or do enough – for your kids. It’s a never-ending issue for me.
