Pick up my guitar and play, just like yesterday / And I get on my knees and pray.

The day you open your mind to music, you're halfway to opening your mind to life.

Respect yourself. Try to remember that not everything in life can be perfect. You will make mistakes. That's inevitable. But you are not ugly. You will only be ugly when you behave in an ugly way.

It's like the mod thing is happening again.

I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf.

Is your perception of 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine' so shallow that it's violated by dancing raisins?

He is the king. If it hadn't been for Link Wray and 'Rumble,' I would have never picked up a guitar.

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth.

Rock 'n' Roll might not solve your problems, but it does let you dance all over them

Keith Moon, God rest his soul, once drove his car through the glass doors of a hotel, driving all the way up to the reception desk, got out and asked for the key to his room.

I believe rock can do anything, it's the ultimate vehicle for everything

Rockabye Baby, in the treetopDont you know a treetopis no safe place to rock?And who put you up there, and your cradle too?Baby, I think someone down herehas got it in for you!

I want to make love, but my hair smells of war and running and running.

I never think of policemen's wives

Someone once said that nostalgia is longing for a place you’d never go back to and thinking about it… that’s pretty much how I’m feeling about my ex-husband: longing for someone I’d never go back to.

A lot of peopletell me I'm a bit dreamy, but I like the idea of that. Of being somewhere else.

Honestly, I don't know if I'd want to be an educator. I find teachers to have more responsibility, in a way, than being a parent. You're molding hundreds of minds every year.

I want to do transformational work to actually fix the world.

Instead of hearing, "Oh, he's good," I'd rather hear, "Wow, you changed my feelings today, you made me feel different."

That was the beginning of modern acting for me. You don't have to tell a camera everything. It gets bored if you do and wants to look elsewhere.

We're all flawed human beings and we all have a cauldron of psychosis which we have to unravel as we grow older and find the way we fit in to live our lives as best as possible.
