Passion is a young man's game. Young people can be passionate. Older people gotta be more wise. I mean, you're around awhile, you leave certain things to the young. Don't try to act like you're young. You could really hurt yourself.

Done so many evil things in the name of love, it's a crying shame. I never did see no fire that could put out a flame.

I can't see myself singing the same song twice in a row. That's terrible.

I believe that instinct is what makes a genius a genius.

Adulterers in churches and pornography in the schools, you got gangsters in power and lawbreakers making rules. When you gonna wake up?

I forgot more than you'll ever know.

You don't write a song to sit there on a page. You write it to sing it.
