It was quite a shot in the head to do the album and then have it shot down by nonmusical idiots

I wish I was a little more gregarious and outgoing

You're successful if you can get one person to pick it up and put it on the turntable and go, Wow, thanks for writing that!

Love is the promise that guides me.

Down the ancient corridors through the gates of time, run the ghosts of dreams that we have left behind.

Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight. Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright. Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light

Love when you can, cry when you have to, be who you must, that's a part of the plan. Await your arrival with simple survival, and one day we'll all understand.

My life is as an artist, not an entertainer. I don't consider myself an entertainer, but I can do that thing when I want to

A simple smile, a tender touch, speaks the true language of love.

Between the worlds of men and make believe I can be found.

Nobody can learn for another. Only we can teach ourselves.

I could say it all began with my mother.

People think that if you're sexy you have no brains, and if you have brains you aren't in touch with your sexual side. I'm trying to tell people, 'You can have it both ways.'

My fellow journalists called themselves correspondents; I preferred the title of reporter. I wrote what I saw. I took no action -- even an opinion is a kind of action.

To-morrow we embark upon the boundless sea.

I have an apartment back home in London. England will be home for me. It always has been and always will be. It's where my friends are.

If you believe, so will they.
