Networking is rubbish; have friends instead.

While you see a chance take it, find romance, fake it, because it's all on you.

Time is a river rolling into nowhere. We must live while we can, and we'll drink our cup of laughter.

The finer things I feel in me, the golden dance life could be.

The music industry went through such a strange stretch in 1977, especially in this country, with the whole punk rock thing coming about. Punk was rebellious-and justified in that response-but it had very little to do with music, and so it created a highly-charged but frighteningly floundering atmosphere that I found very, very disheartening. Musical quality for me has always been an important part of rock'n'roll-and winning recognition for that has long been an uphill battle all the way. Punk seemed like rock'n'roll utterly without the music.

If you call someone up on a mistake - if the drummers put an extra beat in a bar or something - you have a lot more authority if you can show them how to do it right.

Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine.
