In my normal life I’m a very unadventurous person.

Without gambling, I would not exist.

Temptation is just the feeling that you’re the most independent person on planet Earth. That you know everything. That’s something that we all go through as a kid. Now, this lifestyle that I’m in, the same thing exists! But it’s 10 times worse, because everything is at my disposal. When you’re in the limelight, you can get anything you want.

Some people are jerks, and some people aren’t.

I am in the fighting game. I don’t care about anything else. I don’t watch the news, I don’t care about politics, I don’t care about other sports. I don’t care about anything I don’t need to care about. This is my sport: it is my life. I study it; I think about it all the time. Nothing else matters.

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

The idea of personal salvation is intensely repugnant to me when it is not absurd. Imagine Roosevelt, the big brute, preserving his personality in a future state and swaggering about as a celestial Rough Rider!

I think being funny is not anyone’s first choice.

Really, I have to laugh because there was a whole set of stories that made me sound like the Dragon Lady, you know, ‚tough this and tough that.‘ Then there is this business about ‚gooey.‘ The bottom line is I am a pragmatic idealist.

Man lives for science as well as bread.

I can be a cruel person.

A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.

Mental toughness is a lifestyle. It’s something that you live every single day of your life. When I was growing up, I was a lazy kid. I was a lazy kid, and everybody goes, ‚How did you get to where you’re at today? How did you get to where you’re running 200 miles at one time in 39 hours? Being so disciplined?‘

Polygamy: An endeavour to get more out of life than there is in it.

I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.

I’ve always been very happy. I’ve always been easy going and I’ve always been very encouraging; it’s just my personality.

It is with trifles, and when he is off guard, that a man best reveals his character.

Tell me what you like and I’ll tell you what you are.

I became a beach bum.

I’m a person of whim, and easily distracted. I don’t like multitasking. When I’m doing one thing, I like to do just that thing.

Before finding music, I didn’t have too many aspirations. I wanted to hang out, make a little money from whatever I had to do.

What’s wrong with being a boring kind of guy?

Who I am on stage is very, very different to who I am in real life.

It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.

The intellectual is different from the ordinary man, but only in certain sections of his personality, and even then not all the time.

As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake.

You don’t even really need a place. But you feel like you’re doing something. That is what coffee is. And that is one of the geniuses of the new coffee culture.

I have ‚Parents‘ magazine in my home.

I think I became more productive through not having children. I never really had the desire to have them. My husband didn’t want them either, so it worked out well.

I make a lot of expressions constantly. I’m animated.

You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it’s kind of a lifestyle and it’s easy to get caught up in it – you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone’s doing a certain thing… It’s tough.

I love the freedom of movement that my phone gives me. That has definitely transformed my life.

Some people spend their lives building ultimate dream homes so they can enjoy their twilight years… Others spend their last days in nursing homes.

I’m filthy rich!

I don’t care about money.

Wives are people who feel they don’t dance enough.

Our lifestyle was not in any way a negative. That was not the problem. That is and will remain one of the wonderful opportunities we are able to give our children.

A man’s own manner and character is what most becomes him.

Some are made modest by great praise, others insolent.

I think I should learn French and be a better cook – basic, really good life stuff.

It is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one’s own personality. Good prose is like a windowpane.

What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.

I’m guarded; I don’t talk much.

I’m an absolutely normal guy.

I like to think my dad was easygoing and kind, and I think some of those things have been passed down. I am like him in a sense of being positive and hopeful. He was compassionate, and I’ve got a lot of that in me as well.

What consumerism really is, at its worst is getting people to buy things that don’t actually improve their lives.

Personality is everything in art and poetry.

If McLaren give me a car, that’s fine, but I don’t tend to buy fancy stuff anyway or super-nice clothes.

Too many of us now tend to worship self indulgence and consumption.

If I wouldn’t have found Courtney, I probably would have carried on with a bisexual lifestyle.

I wonder how many decisions we make every day. I believe it’s probably hundreds. We decide whether or not to get out of bed, what we’ll eat, what we’ll do, what we’ll think about, what we’ll say… and on and on.

I’m an all-or-nothing kind of guy, I guess.

It’s crazy how fast you get out of shape if you miss a couple days of action.

I love San Francisco and Brighton has something of San Francisco about it. It’s by the sea, there’s a big gay community, a feeling of people being there because they enjoy their life there.

I have to admit I’ve found myself doing the same things that a lot of other rock stars do or are forced to do. Which is not being able to respond to mail, not being able to keep up on current music, and I’m pretty much locked away a lot. The outside world is pretty foreign to me.

I don’t have a need for speed. I’m not that guy.

The world, as a rule, does not live on beaches and in country clubs.

My dad was very intelligent, had a very strong personality. I was amazed with my father.

Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.

Sometimes, women in families put themselves last until it manifests itself in their own health.
