Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.

One of the rewards of success is freedom, the ability to do whatever you like.

I was famous overnight. I went from nowhere to being really big.

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.

I have been through various fitness regimes. I used to run about five miles a day and I did aerobics for a while.

I'm not much of a family man. I'm just not that into it. I love kids, I adore them, but I don't want to live my life for them.

I've spent a bit of time with the Prince of Wales, who I respect greatly. I'd give two cheers for the Monarchy.

Love is stronger than justice.

The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life, in living life happily, as it should be lived. Living for the moment.

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.
