I think people have to be more aware of what the repercussions are of their actions.

I have always been fascinated with guns. I grew up in America so granted, it is part of our heritage and it is written into the laws of how this country is run.

I love Indian food - it's my favourite cuisine. I love the mixture of spices and the subtle flavours. It's really erotic; the spices are so sensuous.

Take life on life's terms - one day at a time. And have fun while you're doing it.

Get good live and get a following because that's what people notice.

I guess we all have a bad night now and then and really screw up. I listened to our earlier stuff and we screwed up a lot. But at least now that we are sober, when we screw up it's for real.

Music is music; you don't have to put a label on it.

I love to listen to the music that first inspired me - I get that fresh feeling back.

I don't see anyone avoiding the Stones because DJs make jokes about them being a part of the Geritol set. All it does is make the DJs look stupid.

A band isn't a band unless they're playing together. Otherwise it's just five guys that are living off their royalty checks.

I've come to realize that you live on through recordings; they're like a musical diary, a window into somebody's soul.

Don't wait for wisdom to come and rescue you, seek it daily.

Let the change begin with your choices this very moment.

Nationalist pride, like other variants of pride, can be a substitute for self-respect.

The criterion of mental health is not one of individual adjustment to a given social order, but a universal one, valid for all men, of giving a satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.

It was from Handel that I learned that style consists in force of assertion.

That is not enough. Sport has been great for me, a great learning place that if you want to achieve you can, even if you are from the poorest part of Africa.

I don't have a cell phone (though for years I've kept saying, "soon").

I believe in a democracy and we live in a democracy. We have a titular head of state as the monarch but without political power.

This metropolitan world, then, is a world where flesh and blood is less real than paper and ink and celluloid.

The Real You isn't damaged goods. The Real You is the light of the universe.
