Music's been with me from the get-go. It was always around me as a kid. Dad got me my first guitar when I was 11 and, at school, if you wanted to be cool you had to be in a band.

Nothing changes, until you change. Everything changes, once you change

I love to sit on a mountain top and gaze. I don't think of anything but the people I care about and the view.

I am a complete mother's boy. I try to do everything with honour, respect and grace because the last thing I would want to do is hurt her.

Dad was a hypocrite. He could talk about peace and love to the world but he could never show it to his wife and son.

I had always thought of starting my own record company. I haven't regretted the decision - yet!

Anyone must remember that dad left when I was 3 years old. Mom and I lived out of the limelight. We lived a totally different life.

I've found constancy and balance between creativity and normality.

As much as I love music, in my mind, photography is what makes me the happiest - that's for sure.

I've been a philanthropist for all my life, and... I've had many involvements in humanitarian and environmental issues.

I find it upsetting to see the erosion of manners. It's very scary. Where are the 'pleases' and 'thank yous?'

One life. One marathon. One goal.

If there are two hundred people in a room and one of them doesn't like me I've got to get out.

Those possest of the greatest Virtues are always least pleas'd with the repetition of them.

One need not be a prophet to be aware of impending dangers. An accidental combination of experience and interest will often reveal events to one man under aspects which few yet see.

I like reading, I like boring things, and yet I think people for ages had this image of me that I was on the tube with a chainsaw looking for any likely candidate.

Well, I love tattoos and have been drawing them on my binders in school since I was little.

I love the thought of not knowing how things will turn out but the willingness to invest anyway.

All education in a country has got to be demonstrably in promotion of the progress of the country in which it is given.

The prescription for endless war poses a far greater danger to Americans than perceived enemies do, for reasons the terrorist organisations understand very well.

You cannot create in another's life against their will, but if it is something they want, your thoughts are a real force that helps them.
