I think a lot of ladies get quite scared about people like me, 'rock stars', and it can be hard to meet the right sort of person.

I didn't get my first car until I was 22. It was a BMW 1602 and now I've got it back I'm waiting to restore it.

Every now and again I need to get away from everything. I'm quite a hidey-hole kind of a guy.

I may be the prat in the hat, that's cool, but I drive an Aston Martin DB5.

The mid-life crisis is just those times when you're not so into the things you were when you were younger.

When I listen to Radio 1 and hear five different tracks in a row using old disco samples, well that's plagiarism, that's taking other people's music.

I can do the equivalent of 150 miles per hour and not get stopped. I could quite happily pursue people down the motorway in my helicopter.

I like girls who like the countryside, put on walking boots and can bend with the wind a bit. If you're going to live with me, you need to be able to embrace the countryside and wet dogs.

Your private life is your private life and you keep it to yourself. You get more respect that way.

I think these days a lot of the younger generation feels that the world owes them something. But you've got to get off your backside and you've got to do all the crap stuff, too.

Now, I'm the most impatient person that ever walked the planet. However: for the best, you always wait.

I never realized just how many things I really hated until you walked out the door and out of my life.

Learn what you can, teach what you know, live how you ought.

Leopard is an animal design, and my designs come from nature.

One advantage of talking to yourself is that you know at least somebody's listening.

The stone is a mirror which works poorly. Nothing in it but dimness. Your dimness or its dimness, who's to say? In the hush your heart sounds like a black cricket.

Never do anything that someone else can and will do, when there is so much of importance to be done which others cannot or will not do.

Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God!

We don't play slow and we don't play fast, we play half fast

My experiences are universal. I'm not doing anything embarrassing - to me what would be embarrassing is to talk about minutia. It would be embarrassing to get up there and not say anything.

The greatest delight the fields and woods minister is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable. I am not alone and unacknowledged. They nod to me and I to them.
