I'm usually pretty happy. I don't ever really get disturbed in any way, or feel like I need to go back and change something.

Everything alive must die. Every building built to the sky will fall. Don't try to tell me my everlasting love is a lie.

I don't like being in public with headphones on. I don't know how people can do it. It seems like you're so cut off from your environment. I feel like I'd get hit by a car.

We live in a connected world now. Some find that frightening. If people are downloading our music, they're listening to it. The internet is like radio for us.

Give it air & let the scar on your soul reveal itself, because, like the body, it too was made to heal itself.

It is the dirt within men’s hearts that is most offensive

I was lucky I wasn't a better boxer or that's what I'd be now - a punchy ex-pug.

People should be beautiful in every way - in their faces, in the way they dress, in their thoughts, and in their innermost selves.

I used to look in the mirror and feel shame, I look in the mirror now and I absolutely love myself.

Truth telling is not compatible with the defence of the realm.

I was so devastated by my second divorce that I had a nervous breakdown.

In Japan, Australia, and England there is such a strong youth culture.

I'm not in the Lifetime Achievement area yet-I'm still battling it out in the trenches.

It is better that the law should be certain than that every judge should speculate upon improvements in it.
