To be a liar, you've got to have a great memory, and I don't have a memory.

The power of people, when they focus on something positive, never fails to amaze me.

I'd like to sing songs that are mellower. I don't want to be screaming when I'm 60.

I didn't really like the taste of booze. I liked the effect it did on me. But I can't say I savored a glass full of Chablis Chablis 1932. I drank whatever s - - was in front of me and got me buzzed.

The funny thing is, I was never much of a fighter. Better a live coward than a dead hero, that was my motto.

I'm not trying to twist people's heads around. I'm not trying to say, "Believe in me."

MTV made a huge impact. Heavy rotation took you from selling 1m albums to 20m albums, and that meant a lot of dough.
