You can't explain the feeling of singing hit songs to an audience - it's like being a genuine sports star at the peak of their powers.

I'd had my time in the charts and made loads of money. I was no longer hungry for success.

I'm a person who tries not to have regrets.

I don't trust politicians. I think that by the time they've made it, with the concessions they've had to make in that position, I don't believe they still have the beliefs they had at the root.

I had my 15 minutes of being the new boy of pop, like lots of people before and after me. Overnight, everyone starts treating you differently, and perceives you differently.

I do have a thing for eating out; that's one of life's great middle-age pleasures.

I must admit, the constant invasion of privacy was becoming a real concern. Ive been asked for autographs while Ive been doing laps in the pool and even in the toilet!

Id been bumming around in bands since my school days.

I started out as a drummer, and now play with a back-to-basics rock band called the 'Luddites.' I'm happiest when I'm behind the kit.

Dont expect fame to come overnight. That filtered through to me in my own career. Look at Madonna: shes not the best singer in the world, but shes got where she has through hard work.

Scientology always makes me think of that movie 'V' where that woman takes off her mask of human flesh to reveal her true, alien self.

I am no longer surprise by situation.

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.

What good is all the cash if it doesn't buy time and what good is bein famous if I'm never on your mind?

As we know, our own mother bore us only into pain and dying. But our true mother, Jesus, who is all love, bears us into joy and endless living. Blessed may he be.

I'll keep us out of war with Oklahoma!

I love women. They're the best thing ever created. If they want to be like men and come down to our level, that's fine.

I know that's not something that people like to do - identify a favorite. But I do.

There's a feeling of immortality you have in youth. You just don't see the dangers around you, or, if you do, maybe you're even excited by them.

There should be a harmonious blend of religion, philosophy and art for man to live healthily in the world.

Almighty Father, please stop making jerks. Amen...Break!
