“I’ve done too many stupid things for there not to be movies made about me when I’m dead, so I might as well write the script.”

I seem to think that anything worth having in life has to be painful to attain.

As I became George professionally and everyone called me George, Yog became the name that people who knew me from before started to use. It became more valuable to me.

I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 – in certain parts of the world anyway.

I don’t go for safe options. Romantically, I go for people who are a pain in the ass.

[My family] is one of the strongest families you’re ever likely to see.

Change is a stranger you have yet to know.

I think my idea of a perfect romance is when two people really belong to each other.

I just hope that I’ll stay around musically for as long as I can. I love to think that I will still be satisfying myself and other people as a musician until the day I die.

I wouldn’t marry until I was ready to have children.

When someone is always going to be there for you. I meet people like that all the time, but I have this unfortunate attraction to people I think I have to fight to become friends with.

I truly believed that tonight would never happen, that I would never sing these songs to you again. But then I’m a fool, which you’ve probably worked out by now.

Stars are almost always people that want to make up for their own weaknesses by being loved by the public and I’m no exception to that.

I think the media is a real demon.

Your political system is actually too democratic. The fact that Americans vote on every bill and proposition can prolong bigotry indefinitely, especially where it is aimed at minority groups.

I don’t want to look at other people my age in leather. Why would I put it on?

Freedom. I will not give you up.

Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time. It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.

We need others. We need others to love and we need to be loved by them. There is no doubt that without it, we too like the infant left alone, would cease to grow, cease to develop, choose madness, and even death.

Death is the only water to wash away this dirt.

Even with the utterly lost, to whom life and death are equally jests, there are matters of which no jest can be made.

Get ready for the death race for love experience!

We never lose the people we love, even to death.

I had reasoned this out in my mind; there was on of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other; for no man should take me alive.

Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.
