“There’s a time for everyone, If they only learn, that the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn.”

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.

That’s just a part of being an artist: you can’t write great stuff all the time, because if you did, then you’d be inhuman. The human side of people is that sometimes they fail.

I really appreciate my performing so much better, as I get older. I don’t take it for granted anymore. I really relish it and love it.

My mantra is if you raise money, don’t waste it.

What a scandal, if I die. Yeah, I’m gonna kill myself, get a little headline news.

It seems to me, sorry seems to be the hardest word.

If you write great songs with meaning and emotion, they will last for ever because songs are the key to everything.

Unless you show off you’re not going to get noticed.

Talk to each other. Never go to bed when you’re angry with each other. Lady Antonia Frasier who was married to Harold Pinter said they never went to bed on an argument.

I’m a juvenile product of the working class, who’s best friend floats in the bottom of a glass.

I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems.

I never thought of myself as being handsome or good-looking or whatever.

The worst thing you can do to a child, and I’ve seen it happen so many times, is the silver spoon.

Love is the key we must turn, truth is the flame we must burn.

I had to learn how to function as a human being. And I really enjoyed that process.
