It is dishonest the way that people suddenly think they've found guitars, and wear their guitar as a badge.

Give the public what they want. What you want is unimportant.

There's a certain edge about cruelty. If you're honest about it, most people wince, but say it had to be said.

I think that's where reality TV works - you don't know where it's going.

The public are not stupid.

I'm not going to say that every record I've put out was the greatest record in history, but I'd stand by even the bad ones. Don't make excuses, make hits.

Certainly in the modern age where everything is glossed over, when somebody speaks their mind, the majority of the public go, I'd love to have said that.
