I think in the past I think I probably was a little too diverse, probably went from one spectrum to the complete opposite and confusing people.

Soho has got to be at its centre. It's got such a history for rock, pop, poetry, jazz, writers, all those things, and I think it should be valued as such, and protected as this centre for bohemia.

People come from all over the world to see this little place they've seen in movies and read about in history books: Soho.

I think the older I get the more creative I get, I don't have the distractions that I had when I was younger.

I don't enjoy being a celebrity, I don't want any part of that or any part of that fame for fame... i'd actually rather die than be a celebrity slime!!!

I was a magnet for people who want to take advantage of people like me, who think they're part of this life but they're not.

I think there's always been singers like that and i've done my fair share of cheese as well.

My next record I really just want it to be a collection of great songs, classic songs in a way.

We just kind saw the images and knew the cliches, so to have the opportunity to go there and learn something about Russian music and about Russian people and to see things apart from being a tourist.

Knowing what I knew about Russia, as much as I loved the music and was fascinated by the songs and the whole idea of it, I knew it would be a very lengthy and frustrating process.

Many people spend more time looking at their failures than focusing on their successes.

To an ignorant lady, she wants to look attractive and beautiful while some conscienceless men prey on her life.

Just like my father, I've always loved education. In school I was a member of the honor society.

Good words quench more then a bucket of water.

When I'm laid in my coffin, I want you to put a picture of my grandchild to the right of me and and a picture of my daughter to my left. That way they will be buried with me.

A trillion dollars spent, 2,000 American lives lost - Afghanistan is the longest war in American history. But you don't hear a word about it.

When you say "paying the banks," what they really mean is paying the bank bondholders. They are basically the One Percent.

We strive toward a goal, and whether we achieve it or not is important, but it's not what's most important. What matters is how we move toward that goal.

I have a gigantic head, sometimes it throws me off balance.

I want the world to be better because I was here.
