“All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand. But you turned into a lover, and mother what a lover, you wore me out.”

I’ve still got a brilliant head of hair, which refuses to lay down.

I’ve always been able to get inside a song really easily, and if it’s my song, I can make it seem honest.

I think, with suits and clothes, if you keep them long enough, they all come back in fashion. It’s like me. I’ve been around long enough and I’ve come back in fashion.

Fast cars like Porsches and Ferraris – they are things of beauty.

You are my lover, you’re my best friend. You’re in my soul.

You can keep your Streisands.

I’m a rock star because I couldn’t be a soccer star.

It has gone past me now, the writing phase.

I suppose I miss the British cynicism and the humor.

I am passionate about football. My support for Celtic FC has got me through some hard times in my life. I still play regularly, too.

My love for you is immeasurable, my respect for you immense. You’re ageless, timeless, lace and fineness, you’re beauty and elegance.

I’ve always looked on myself as one of a band and never sought a solo career.

Life is so brief and time is a thief when you’re undecided.

I’ve had tremendous success I’m very lucky.

My big brother still thinks he’s a better singer than me.

You’re in my heart, you’re in my soul. You’ll be my breath, should I grow old.

Friendship is the heaven of life.

There is no love without friendship. Passion alone does not form relationships of value.

Friendship is born from an identity of spiritual goals – from common navigation toward a star.

You are a success when you have made friends with your past, are focused on the present, and are optimistic about your future

Get around people who have something of value to share with you. Their impact will continue to have a significant effect on your life long after they have departed.

No good thing is pleasant without friends to share it.

A false friend and a shadow attend only while the sun shines.

People can’t, unhappily, invent their mooring posts, their lovers and their friends, anymore than they can invent their parents.
