There's no easy way to be free.

Rock music is important to people , because it allows them to escape this crazy world. It allows them not to run away from the problems that are there, but to face up to them , but at the same time sort of DANCE ALL OVER THEM. That's what rock and roll is about.

Your love is like heroin.

The problem for me, still today, is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage.

Water is more precious than oil. Both are more precious than music. Music won't heat a house or help a plant to grow.

I've learned a huge amount because I've been tested and, more importantly, I've been trusted.

Give love, and keep blood between brothers
