Some of my best friends are gay guys, and they said, "You're so straight, we're not interested."

Passion, not pedigree, will win in the end.

Elton John said to me, "I have all the negatives."

I don't work well outside the lines; my report card once read, "doesn't play well with others."

You have to be either naive or power-hungry to get into politics. I wouldn't consider it myself. I am too well-informed.

This is the way I look at sex scenes: I have basically been doing them for a living for years. Trying to seduce an audience is the basis of rock 'n roll, and if I may say so, I'm pretty good at it...Plus, being married and monogamous, it's the closest thing I can do to having sex without getting in trouble for it...The only thing I like more than my wife is my money, and I'm not about to lose that to her and her lawyers, that's for damn sure.

Find an independent woman-who loves you for you and will be your best friend. I got it right the first time and was very, very lucky.
