“A good thing never ends.”

I never really studied business in school. I kind of wish I had, but how boring is that?

Thank you for leaving us alone but giving us enough attention to boost our egos.

I prefer to live in a rented house. No ties. Nothing around my neck. Just the minimum kind of bare comforts of home.

The grown-up world was a very ordered society in the early ’60s, and I was coming out of it. America was even more ordered than anywhere else. I found it was a very restrictive society in thought and behavior and dress.

I enjoy doing different kinds of things. I just enjoy being not tied too much. I feel that I’m tied to myself as a kind of traditional musician and a singer, and the history that I have ties me down.

You can’t be jealous and be a leader.

I don’t think that being in a full-time relationship is necessarily for everybody all of the time. It’s not necessarily some state of grace.

You don’t always do the same things you’ve done the night before. That’s what makes playing live so interesting as opposed to being in the studio.

Time is on my side, yes it is.

I don’t want to be singing Satisfaction when I’m 40.

I, personally, have a lot of energy, so I don’t see it as an immediate problem.

Any performer is one person privately and then he’s another person when he steps on the stage.

I came into music just because I wanted the bread. It’s true. I looked around and this seemed like the only way I was going to get the kind of bread I wanted.

It’s all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.

There’s no absolutes in life – only vodka.

You can’t always get what you want.

Where desire ends up causing suffering is when it fixates.

Life has to end, love doesn’t.

God willeth that we endlessly hate the sin and endlessly love the soul, as God loveth it.

True long-term thinking is goal-less thinking. It’s not about any single accomplishment. It is about the cycle of endless refinement and continuous improvement.

There’s nothing sadder than getting to the end of your life and saying, ‘I didn’t do it right’.

Everything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well.

Chase the vision, not the money, the money will end up following you.

This is not the end of what you are doing; in fact, its the very beginning.
