I love playing for people.

I set myself up to be a bass guitarist and bass players get a lot more work than people like me.

I can't stand rap....people who can't sing do rap....you can sing rebellion as well as talk it....Hitler would have been in a rap band.

We have nine hungry Rottweilers on the farm.

I ain't quiet.. everybody else is too loud.

I'm only interested in heavy metal when it's me who's playing it. I suppose it's a bit like smelling your own farts.

I have got an anthology album out. The American version has got the same mixes but the European version, I remixed them in the studio and added a couple of things that I have always wanted to add.

So by the time I taught myself the bass guitar at the age of 14, my hands were already pretty nimble.

The Netherlands are wet, flat and full of stoned people.

I am writing a book and that takes third place of importance.

I deep sea fish a lot.

A woman telling her true age is like a buyer confiding his final price to an Armenian rug dealer.

I don't really understand the point about carping about every casualty, every bombing, every death. War is hell. That's why people say war is hell.

"My only problem with women breastfeeding in public is they never wink back." It's kind of the perfect joke because it's a bait and switch.

Few players have cast a spell across the game like Yao Ming, before or since.

I want to thank all my teammates who scored so many runs and Joe DiMaggio, who ran down so many of my mistakes.

Reading time is precious. Don't waste it. Reading bad books, or books that are wrong for a certain time in your life, can dangerously turn you off the activity altogether.

I am going to sit there and watch Michael Phelps break my record anonymously? That's almost demeaning to me. It is not almost - it is.

You cease totally and only then you arrive. You enter into the world of God, or godliness, only when you are no more.

Do not expect anything; there is more to be gained by earning it.

The public is a ferocious beast; one must either chain it or flee from it.
