You talk too much, you laugh too loud, and that's the price of love.

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.

The boldness of being is to believe in God.

The motions of men must be such as suggest their dignity or their baseness.

Most books and movies that are handed to teenagers are filled with stereotypes.

I work on words, mostly, toward them being poetry or short stories, and then some of those become songs.

Our roots are clinging, we shouldn't knock down so many old 'buildings.'
