I feel sorry for the '90s, because it was never able to be anything much more than the hangover to the party that was the '80s.

These days I think people give up too easily. Everyone says it’s about compromise, which it is. Love, compromise, promises, presents help. But ultimately it’s about not giving up. People are led to believe that if it’s not perfect then just ditch it and change it, these days. That’s a mistake.

Complaining doesn't make a difference; it's useless and it's wasted energy.

I'm not a snob. Ask anybody-well, anybody who matters.

People wonder why I go out with models with nothing between their heads

Digital music boils down the actual musical experience.
