You're better off being a brick layer if you're going to play guitar than a sheet metal worker.

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.

We tend to think of age only in time, but I don't think it has much to do with time at all there's a whole load of other things. I've met 16-year-olds who are old and 90-year-olds who are young.

Rock n' roll seems to have changed society much more than any politician, I think it really has.

I'm surrounded by good people. That's the measure of a good life. All the rest is flotsam.

Your life is lived in a day, so focus on living one good day by successfully designing, creating and living that good day and duplicating it.

All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?

Because life is not fair, Albert. And the world is conspiring against you.

Most people, after accomplishing something, use it over and over again like a gramophone record till it cracks, forgetting that the past is just the stuff with which to make more future.

Vanity, wounded pride, rejection, self-delusion. I could recite a litany of little pinpricks that finally produce a gaping wound. That's how marriages and friendships come apart.

Plan Colombia was supposed to reduce Colombia's cultivation and distribution of drugs by 50 percent, but 6 years and $4.7 billion later, the drug control results are meager at best.

If we show the Lord's death at Communion, we must show the Lord's life in the world. If it is a Eucharist on Sunday, it must prove on Monday that it was also a Sacrament.

You're always a little surprised when something really takes off.

You have to foul me to stop me, period.
