Don't take yourself too seriously. And take yourself as seriously as death itself.
Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king, and a king ain't satisfied until he rules everything.
There's an opera out on the turnpike, there's a ballet being fought out in the alley.
There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders. And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.
Adult life is dealing with an enormous amount of questions that don't have answers. So I let the mystery settle into my music. I don't deny anything, I don't advocate anything, I just live with it.
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night.
In the past, some of the songs that were the most fun, and the most entertaining and rocking, fell by the wayside because I was concerned with what I was going to say and how I was going to say it.
Every good writer or filmmaker has something eating at them, right? That they can't quite get off their back . And so your job is to make your audience care about your obsessions.
At the end of every hard day, people find some reason to believe.
You can't shut off the risk and the pain without losing the love that remains.
It's a town full of losers And I'm pulling out of here to win.
Show a little faith there is magic in the night. You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright, and that's alright with me.
The best music is essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.
I leave pansies, the symbolic flower of freethought, in memory of the Great Agnostic, Robert Ingersoll, who stood for equality, education, progress, free ideas and free lives, against the superstition and bigotry of religious dogma. We need men like him today more than ever. His writing still inspires us and challenges the 'better angels' of our nature, when people open their hearts and minds to his simple, honest humanity. Thank goodness he was here.
