I don't belong to a church or political party or a group of any kind. I feel that Amnesty International is the most civilized organization in history. Its currency is the written word. Its weapon is the letter; that's why I am a member. I believe in its non-violence; I believe in its effectiveness. Its dignity and its sense of commitment. Its focus on individuals and the concentration and tenacity with which they defend those imprisoned for their ideas has earned it the cautious respect of repressive governments throughout the world.

A lot of people approach risk as if it's the enemy when it's really fortune's accomplice.

I always stayed fit because I'm a performer, and all of those things help me to perform.

That sense of failure, I don't know where people put it who don't write songs and aren't able to emote physically. It must go somewhere.

There's no religion but sex and music.

If you love someone, set them free.

I think love has something to do with allowing a person you claim to love to enter a larger arena than the one you create for them.
