Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true. When will you realize... Vienna waits for you.

Musicians want to be the loud voice for so many quiet hearts.

Only the good die young.

I could walk away from anyone I ever knew, but I can't walk away from you.

In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.

We are willing to form an army like every independent country though we are still under occupation.

Depend on yourself; you won't be let down.

An honest man is all right even if he's an idiot...but a crook must have brains.

I work hard and I party hard. When I go to work, I know what I am doing and I do it to the best of my abilities. When I party, I take exactly the same rule book with me.
