When I was at college - that was the first time I tried singing. I played in a band, and people seemed to like it.

But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing.

Other bands wanted to wreck hotel rooms; Roxy Music wanted to redecorate them.

But I do like to have peace and quiet for a good hour.

Secretly, I wanted to look like Jimi Hendrix, but I could never quite pull it off.

Women! I have no idea. I don't know anything about women at all. They're a complete mystery to me.

And Mary J. Blige, she's got all these fur coats and hats and stuff. She's good; I like her.

I don't do interviews at all when I'm on tour, so this time, on a day off, I'll do that kind of thing a little bit. I don't do big promotion schedules, not when I'm touring.

Why should I spoil my mood by wearing an ugly suit?

I've had quite a few moments I've liked, so it's good enough.

It's fabulous when you do that, when you discover somebody who you like, when you kind of feel those feelings, even though he articulates them better.

Writing heals my heart like no pill ever could.

I love doing action. And I love doing dramatic films, and I'd never really been able to combine them.

When a man attempts to deal with me by force, I answer him, by force.

The moment we choose to love we begin to move against domination, against oppression. The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others.

I love being a dad. Basically it's the most gratifying, rewarding relationship in life. But, at the same time, it certainly is the most challenging.

Every work of Genius is tinctured by the feelings, and often originates in the events of times.

Every author in some way portrays himself in his works, even if it be against his will.

Judgment is more than skill. It sets forth on intellectual seas beyond the shores of hard indisputable factual information.

Whatever affection we have for our friends or relations, the happiness of others never suffices for our own.

I would rather be dead than empty
