My life is so full of surprises, nothing surprises me any more.

Real talent will get through whatever the obstacles.

When I was 15, I was naive, looked like a grey mouse and felt second choice.

I don't take myself seriously any more. Sometimes I just garden in my knickers and platform shoes.

My parents have a wonderful marriage, for many years. But I can't commit myself for such a long time.

Performing, I can take it or leave it. Horticulture is far more challenging. I'm absolutely fascinated by it.

My father has taught me all the tricks of the boys at an early age, which has made me very careful.

Dad is my best mate and I can tell Mum absolutely anything. I really appreciate Mum and Dad. Why are we so close? Young parents, I think. The rock business keeps their minds young.

When you're together with someone for some time, you will automatically depend on them as if they were a crutch. And then it ends.

I don't mind being laughed at: that's something I really don't mind, and I think that's kept me sane. My ability to laugh at myself and allow others to laugh at me has been my saving grace.

The record company really pissed me off when they told me to lose weight. I couldn't be bothered with looking a certain way. So I left the business. I don't regret it.

Honesty is not a virtue, it is a luxury. Most, who struggle to put bread on the table, face this question every day. And hunger wins this game almost every time, beta (son).

Only a life lived for others is a life worth while.

Your work is to keep cranking the flywheel that turns the gears that spin the belt in the engine of belief that keeps you and your desk in midair.

The way to get things done is to stimulate competition. I do not mean in a sordid, money-getting way, but in the desire to excel.

Socialism is always wrong.

One is just given a talent, and it's one's duty to make the most of it.

He's the kind of man who picks his friends - to pieces.

Ive always been really inspired by watching top athletes putting in peak performances.

An innocent bird is not innocent from the insect's point of view! Only man can attain the rank of innocence through becoming a peaceful vegetarian!

Game of Thrones' is just incredible, what they pull off every week.
