The beatles were always a great band. nothing more nothing less.

We got into music to avoid a job, and get lots of girls.

Nothing pleases me more than to go into a room and come out with a piece of music.

I support decriminalisation. People are smoking pot anyway and to make them into criminals is wrong. It’s when you’re in jail you really become a criminal.

I love to hear a choir. I love the humanity. To see the faces of real people devoting themselves to a piece of music. I like the teamwork. It makes me feel optimistic about the human race when I see them cooperating like that.

If you love your life, everybody will love you too.

I think the French girls are fabulous.

Somewhere down the line everyone must pay for their misdeeds.

Take action once a day to do something that ignites your life.

Hail, hail rock and roll / Deliver me from the days of old.

One day you’ll understand the sheer awesomeness that is me.

On the day the world ends A bee circles a clover, A fisherman mends a glimmering net.

Happiness is your choice. You can choose today.

No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy the sunlight today, mix good cheer with friends today, enjoy it and bless God for it. Do not look back on happiness — or dream of it in the future. You are only sure of today; do not let yourself be cheated out of it.

I miss my son every day a little bit more, but I thank God every day for every second that he was here.
