“The elusive nature of love it can be such a fleeting thing. You see it there and it’s just fluttering and it’s gone.”

I don’t only like rock music. There are other forms of music that I find interesting. I would want to do everything, every kind of music. I wouldn’t want to be limited to like playing heavy metal or whatever.

I don’t really mind criticism in music or in shows and stuff like that at all. I mean, it doesn’t really worry me even if it’s like out of place. At least it’s relevant.

I don’t want to be a rock star all my life. I couldn’t bear to end up like Elvis Presley in Las Vegas with all those housewives and old ladies coming in with their handbags.

I think it’s very important that you have at least some sort of inner thing you don’t talk about. That’s why I find it distasteful when all these pop stars talk about their habits.

You never really know what’s going to happen. You never know what the audience is going to be like or how they’re going to behave.

I don’t like being completely isolated. I need the energy from other people.

In England you’re skewered on the altar of pop culture if you become pretentious.

Anarchy is the only slight glimmer of hope.

I think people are afraid to express their opinions half the time.

People are so brainwashed by the rules that they don’t know what really matters.

Of course we’re doing it for the money. We’ve always done it for the money.

Music should elevate you. You can be raised, or left stranded. You can’t be raised all the time, in my experience. This might be a rare moment. You might just go up to that level but that’s always good.

Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind.

I remember when I was very young, I read an article by Fats Domino which has really influenced me. He said, ‘You should never sing the lyrics out very clearly.

He stole my music but he gave me my name.

If you’re really on some heavily addictive drug, you think about the drug, and everything else is secondary. You try and make everything work, but the drug comes first.

Some nights I wish I could slip into her skin and wear her flesh only to feel his touch.

Humans need breaks. Humans need to cry. Humans need to feel mad, sad, happy, and all the emotions in between. And humans need to have boundaries. 

Your soul cannot take material things with it. All the “stuff” does not matter. How you make others feel matters.

I don’t feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning.

Nothing was trying to hurt me, except my own thoughts, which felt like needles, trying to stitch tears within my eyes.

Treat your body like a home where your soul feels safe.

The blessings feel different when there is love and peace in your heart.

Love is meant to inspire you, and add positive energy to your soul. It is not meant to make you feel drained and powerless.
