“I like working until the morning, so I can see the day and then I like to go to sleep and then get up before sunset. But I love the energy of the morning.”

I love women, but I’ve never had a relationship with a woman.

I believe in individuality, that everybody is special, and it’s up to them to find that quality and let it live.

My mother was a champion high-jumper. My three brothers are basketball players. We’ve all been very athletic.

I don’t collaborate. You’re born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone.

Whatever; bling always has something to hide.

If people think I’m angry, I don’t want to burst anybody’s bubble. I like sometimes for people to be afraid of me. But it’s not really anger; it’s discipline.

My father would have been made a bishop much earlier than he was had it not been for me and my image.

I don’t like people who hide things.

Everyone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.

I don’t think ‘pop’ should mean that you had no talent.

It’s ridiculous for a woman to say that she’s not attracted to other women. That’s completely false.

I don’t know what I’m going to be doing in two years or even in two weeks. I have to live for today.

I was skinny as a rail and had high cheekbones and a very interesting face – or so I was told.

I would have rebelled against parental authority, no matter what. When I was 15, I started painting my face and making my own clothes.

You can’t expect your children to be perfect.

Even if I sing like a robot, it is still an emotional robot.

My wife’s jealousy is getting ridiculous. The other day she looked at my calendar and wanted to know who May was.

I could do no wrong in my mother’s eyes from the day I was born. My fans bought her a very nice house in San Antonio, and she has a great life.

For me, one of the toughest things about Valentine’s Day is that it gets geared up as the day to profess your love. See, T-E-S-T – that’s a bad word that doesn’t go with L-O-V-E.

I had plenty of pimples as a kid. One day I fell asleep in the library. When I woke up, a blind man was reading my face.

Every day you spend drifting away from your goals is a waste not only of that day, but also of the additional day it takes to regain lost ground.

My time in Paris was an education in both the grimness of a relentless, grinding day job and the joys of nights in glittering restaurants.

Live your days on the positive side of life, in tune with your most treasured values. And in each moment you’ll have much to live for.

Somebody the other day had a review, called me ‘America’s reprobate.’ And I don’t even know what that means, but I kinda like the way it sounds.
