You've got to be hard, like the rock in that old rock & roll.

Why don't the Beatles get back together? Why don't nobody sing of romance?

We're on the verge of all things new.

I always wrote the music first, and the music gave me the mood and the lyrics were pretty much put in to give you a map, where that mood came from and where it's going. But my first love was really the music itself, and I guess I've gone back to that.

Say goodbye to the oldies, but goodies, because the good old days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems

I have a theory that the only original things we ever do are mistakes.

I once believed in causes, too. Had my pointless point of view. Life went on no matter who was wrong or right.
