Girls are always running through my mind. They don't dare walk.

I definitely have a sexual ego thing. But if I'm suggestive, it's in a nice way. Luckily, no one's ever been hurt...a few girls have passed out, that's all.

I respect the people who buy my records and come to my concerts. It's only fair that I always try to give them the very best that's in me. After all, I need them more than they need me.

I wasn't eating. I wasn't sleeping. All I was doing was cocaine. I stayed awake for about two weeks, locked in my bedroom. I went down from a 142 pounds to 110 pounds.

Before, I was terrified on stage. I only play guitar during the acoustic songs. After a while, you can elicit certain responses from the crowd, like Elvis.

In 1973 we moved to the British Isle of Man, and I put my first band together for one year, named Melody Fair.

Songs don't just come out of the air. They take time, but its good fun, too. Maurice gave me encouragement.

I'll have to get people to write songs for me right now until my own writing comes around.

I grew up in a show business family, so we've always had a great sense of balance, being so close to my parents.

I have been to hell and back. I had a very, very bad nervous breakdown.

Even my older brothers' early success 10 years ago didn't change me since there was such an age difference.

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.

And the past held only this wisdom: that love was a damaging mistake, and its accomplice, hope, a treacherous illusion.

To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer.

To me, rockabilly music paralleled punk's energy and feeling, but the players were much better.

The function of art is to bring people into greater touch with reality, and yet our movie houses and family rooms are jammed with people after as much reality-removal as they can get.

Baum (Writer of THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ) was a true educator, and those who read his Oz books are often made what they were not-imaginative , tolerant, alert to wonders, life.

I have always had a problem with my weight.

A Theologian has nothing on a man who has experienced God

Rock music is becoming stale. Let's put the fun back.

Go out in the world and work like money doesn't matter, sing as if no one is listening, love as if you have never been hurt, and dance as if no one is watching.
