I don't really have a great deal of spare time. I still have a house in the country, but I'm in London 90 percent of the time.

But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing.

Other bands wanted to wreck hotel rooms; Roxy Music wanted to redecorate them.

But I do like to have peace and quiet for a good hour.

Secretly, I wanted to look like Jimi Hendrix, but I could never quite pull it off.

Women! I have no idea. I don't know anything about women at all. They're a complete mystery to me.

And Mary J. Blige, she's got all these fur coats and hats and stuff. She's good; I like her.

I don't do interviews at all when I'm on tour, so this time, on a day off, I'll do that kind of thing a little bit. I don't do big promotion schedules, not when I'm touring.

I've had quite a few moments I've liked, so it's good enough.

It's fabulous when you do that, when you discover somebody who you like, when you kind of feel those feelings, even though he articulates them better.

We’ve run out of comforting things to say.

Emulation is a noble and just passion full of appreciation.

Silence alone is great; all else is feebleness . . . Perform with all your heart your long and heavy task. . . . Then as do I, say naught, but suffer and die.

We can solve any problem by introducing an extra level of indirection.

We feel the need to emphasize with greater clarity the obligation for members of the Church to become more independent and self reliant.

I love America, and I love living here.

Listen, my friend, all forms that exist in God's universe can be found in the human figure. A man's body and face can tell everything he represents. So how could I ever exhaust my interest in it?

You are all right on time, except for the fact that time is the enemy of us all, and especially of the writer.

Whatever you write about me, don't make it sad.

Do not too many believe no zeal to be spiritual but what is censorious or vindictive? Whereas no zeal is spiritual that is not also charitable.
