A lot of people these days are not music lovers - they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.

I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.

I was always embarrassed because my dad wore a suit and my mother wore flat pumps and a cozy jumper while my friends' parents were punks or hippies.

A lot of celebrities just want money, fame, power, fancy cars, houses all over the world and have people BOW DOWN to them. To me, that's frightful behaviour.

Mozart was a punk, which people seem to forget. He was a naughty, naughty boy.

People don't associate red hair, pale skin, and freckles with beauty.

I want to hear an alternative viewpoint, and I don't want girls to be defanged and declawed and pretty and mute.

No, I like being a role model because I know how much comfort my musical idols brought me.

I think it's a great thing to have failed in life and then pulled yourself up by the boot straps and actually done something, because then you appreciate it more.

I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.

You would be amazed by how I can torture the English language. I am an abusive lover.

I remember watching him perform these endless, boring violin solos, with his long hair flowing behind him like an Afghan hound in a gale, and thinking, 'what a tosser.

Marx called Darwin a plagiarist and Malthus a fraud. Now all Marxists are Malthusian Darwinists.

You don't love a man for what he says, but love what he says because you love him.

We must learn to let the flow manifest itself where it will.....not where we will it.

If you're a strong female, you don't need permission.

I am a coach on the outside of the establishment and that works.

Just as armor protects the soldier, spiritual knowledge protects us from the difficulties of life.

There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.

If the student fails to learn, the teacher fails to teach.
