When you have a creative mind it doesn't stop going.

Within three months I had gone from being this black sheep of the town to suddenly becoming a pop star.

I came from a small town and at school in one class there was me, a member from Depeche Mode and someone who went on to join The Cure. That was all in one class of 30 kids.

It is interesting seeing young people these days and watching how unimportant music is in their lives compared with our generation.

I think the world is a dead carcass and I think the purpose of human beings is as maggots.

Instead of thinking that's a nice tune, you start thinking is it the right pace, is it the right tempo? That is the death nell for artists.

I wasn't good at being affable. You get beyond that and realise the attraction in any human being has more to do with what they give to someone rather than just being face candy.

When you find yourself on stage singing and you are embarrassed about what you are singing in front of your peers, then you have to think about your priorities.

I have never done any other job. I have sung in bands since I was 15. I left school completely unqualified. I have no other training.

I was a single parent, and I was prohibited from working.

When you make a lot of money for a record company, they don't want you to evolve. Growing older, you naturally do.

Everywhere I've turned somebody has wanted to sacrifice me for my own good—only /they/ were the ones who benefited. And now we start on the old sacrificial merry-go-round. At what point do we stop?

Learning to let go of anyone that does not add to your progress is affirming your inner sense of purpose. Just Keep moving!

This one is for our crew, but it’s also for all the weird girls and word nerds, for all the in-the-middle wickeds and queers and misfits and hell-raisers.

When you don't feel to dress means that you are depressed. You need a fashion shower.

I'm Indian all the way and always will be. I'm not going to stop fighting until I die, and I hope I'm a good example of a human being and of my tribe.

My best business decision is always to have been unembarrassed about negotiating a decent deal. Not being coy or shy about money is second nature to me.

I never give up on my players, and I'll never give up on people.

In the end, my story, in Iraq and afterward, is about more than just killing people or even fighting for my country. It's about being a man. And it's about love as well as hate.

Extreme sport has only ever been about goals and the ways to achieve these goals. Adrenaline plays a part, but it's never in the foreground.

There's a kind of emptiness at the center of life ... nothing to form your life on, or by.
