My son Jack once said to me, 'Dad, do you think people are laughing with you or at you?' And I said, 'I don't care as long as they're laughing.'

I think MTV should consider using subtitles. Half the time, even I can't understand what the fu*k I'm talking about.

I remember what a thrill it was to go from the back streets of Birmingham to Madison Square Garden in New York...it's like playing on Mars. You can't buy that.

In the early days, you would get skinheads, the Eagles and Black Sabbath playing the same show.

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

I'm about caring, I'm about people, and I'm about entertaining people. I'm a family man. A husband. A father. I've been a lot of other things over the years, which we don't really want to talk about.

There are no unachievable goals.
