I buy magazines. I'm not floating around in my own universe. I'm interested in everything.

As I get older, I realize a lot of the things I could have done - things that I didn't think were so great at the time - actually would have been enjoyable.

Skepticism is only a time-based reality, and as an ultimate reality, it's always wrong, because everything always happens.

Musically, I just think in terms of what's next. There's a lot of things I've always dreamed of doing, and I hope I get to them before I get too deaf.

An imagined evil can be worse than the real thing.

Every day is a miracle.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.

Staying busy keeps me away from being bored, which used to be a lot of my problem.

When you're supported by people, you always imagine it's people your age who will support you.

I was up above it Now I'm down in it.
