Your private life is your private life and you keep it to yourself. You get more respect that way.

I didn't get my first car until I was 22. It was a BMW 1602 and now I've got it back I'm waiting to restore it.

Every now and again I need to get away from everything. I'm quite a hidey-hole kind of a guy.

I may be the prat in the hat, that's cool, but I drive an Aston Martin DB5.

The mid-life crisis is just those times when you're not so into the things you were when you were younger.

When I listen to Radio 1 and hear five different tracks in a row using old disco samples, well that's plagiarism, that's taking other people's music.

I can do the equivalent of 150 miles per hour and not get stopped. I could quite happily pursue people down the motorway in my helicopter.

I like girls who like the countryside, put on walking boots and can bend with the wind a bit. If you're going to live with me, you need to be able to embrace the countryside and wet dogs.

I think these days a lot of the younger generation feels that the world owes them something. But you've got to get off your backside and you've got to do all the crap stuff, too.

Now, I'm the most impatient person that ever walked the planet. However: for the best, you always wait.

I am quite fussy about clothes.

Possibility is possible till it becomes Possible

The saddest of all tragedies - the wasted life

Consider the lilies of the field how they grow they neither toil nor spin yet I tell you even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

There has to be a balance in life. A balance of business, family, and the opportunity to learn and teach.

You're basically the same person forever so you find the same stuff funny forever. The Muppet Show spoke to me at 5 and it speaks to me in my late 30s in the same way.

What we’ve got to do is keep hope alive. Because without it we’ll sink.

Probability is the very guide of life.

I'm much more used to the TV shows, which are demanding to write and perform but very fulfilling.

I believe that pain and suffering can either be a prison or a prism.

Frank Martin is a rarity. Dexterous as a player, writer and singer, he is thoughtful and skilled in his approach and passionate in his delivery. He is a unique, first-class musical personality.
