Born to lose. Live to win.

A kid once said to me "Do you get hangovers?" I said, "To get hangovers you have to stop drinking.

I don't do regrets. Regrets are pointless. It's too late for regrets. You've already done it, haven't you? You've lived your life. No point wishing you could change it.

If you think you are too old to rock 'n roll, then you are.

All you got in life is your honor, man, your own self-image, your own self-respect. If you lose that, or if you give it away or if you sell it, then you ain't got it no more.

That was a great time, the summer of '71 - I can't remember it, but I'll never forget it!

Don't look to me. Don't ask for help. Don't ask for anything that you can do yourself

It seems that our brave new world is becoming less tolerant, spiritual and educated than it ever was when I was young.

People don't want to see the guy next door on the stage, they want to see a being from another planet. You want to see somebody you'd never meet in ordinary life.

The greatest thing about dreams is they don’t expire. They can lay dormant for years and when you pull them out and dust them off, they shine like new.

I'm a liberal inside a liberal's body.

In this country, a smart leader is suspect. That's just the way it is. Even George Bush's father, who was a lot smarter than the son, had to sort of prove that he wasn't that bright.

It was certainly a good death scene. I'm endlessly perishing in roles but it's a wonderful thing to be asked to do.

It's all the same - no good without evil, no balance...no maat. If we lose one, we lose the other. It's just life, that's all.

The less there is of fear, the less there is of danger.

Both children and adults like me who live with type 1 diabetes need to be mathematicians, physicians, personal trainers, and dietitians all rolled into one.

How are they defensively, attacking-wise?

I've always found the rain very calming.
