You have to keep fit being a singer - that's part of the job. You can't do it unless you have incredible stamina.

We lived the life with Keith Moon. It was all Spinal Tap magnified a thousand times.

When I sing, I try to live the song or live the emotion of the song. The space I'm in doesn't exist. It's another world.

What a sad era when it is easier to smash an atom than a prejudice.

Always walk where you like your steps.

I love to play, I love to dance, I love to party . . . I'm a liver. I think what I need to learn is how to find the calmness, the centeredness.

Capitalism without bankruptcy is like Christianity without hell.

I'm finally looking older and inviting my wrinkles.

There are no fixed points in space.

I've got a passion for what I'm doing and I feel privileged all the time.

patience is an integral part of talent.
