I am a raging alcoholic, but I don't want my kids to do the same.

I know that I'm here - I believe that I'm here for a purpose. I believe in forces of fate.

You've got to believe in yourself, or no one will believe in you. Imagination is like a bird on the wing, flying free for you to use.

When I was a practicing alcoholic, I was unbelievable. One side effect was immense suspicion: I'd come off tour like Inspector Clouseau on acid. 'Where's this cornflake come from? It wasn't here before.

I've listened to Preachers, I've listened to fools. I've worshipped the dropouts, who've made their own rules.

To be a parent, especially to rock & roll kids, I think being a parent is the most difficult job on the face of the earth. You hate to say things that will upset your kids, but then sometimes you have to because you can't let them run around wild.

You can never take the violence back.
