More than accepted, it's encouraged for rock stars to be out of control.

When people meet me I think they're surprised to find out I'm not always angst-ridden.

I always hate explaining away songs, because for me they mean something, and for other people, they'll mean something absolutely different.

I lead two totally separate lives. There are times when I have to slip into rock star mode.

I will be the focal point for however long I decide to play. Half of me likes that idea and half of me doesn't, but once the adrenaline kicks in, I'll probably really enjoy it.

Anything that I write comes from the soul.

I don't think I've ever tried to be anything other than a weirdo.

I'm not advocating violence but I think somebody should shoot Simon Cowell.

It creates a conflict of interest - what songs would I use for me, and what would I use for the band.

I do a cover of a Velvet Underground song, and they were one of the most important bands, for me.

When I write love songs, people think they're really soppy - but I see love as a consolation for the boredom of life.

The wider our conscience, the wider the impact of our actions, and I do believe someone with more light has the moral duty to enlighten others.

A smile is the dance of your soul.

You born with three obligations: to love, to live, and to be happy.

I have been where you are now. I have felt the fears and resolved them. I have had the doubts and concerns and found the way forward.Lift up your head, and step ahead...

Live in a way that would not leave us regretting after so many years on earth.

Education has been given us from above for the purpose of bringing to the benighted the knowledge of the Saviour.

He did not need a long life for us to measure. It was, rather, we who needed his life to be longer.

There is such a thing as fanaticism, it is always wrong, and if you disagree, you're wrong too.

I think someone should explain to the child that it's OK to make mistakes. That's how we learn. When we compete, we make mistakes.

Any view of the sciences that leaves Christ out of the picture must be seen as fundamentally deficient.
