You'd like to know me well, but I've got things inside my head that even I can't face.
I've always been very chauvinistic, even in my boy-obsessed days. But I was always a gentleman. I alwaysd treated my boys like real ladies. Always escorted them properly and, in fact, I suppose if I were a lot older - like 40 or 50 - I'd be a wonderful sugar daddy to some little queen down in Kensington. I'd have a houseboy named Richard to order around.
I've been putting out the fire with gasoline.
Sweet head, give you sweet head.
Fame puts you there where things are hollow.
Love is every type of relationship that you think of... I'm sure it means relationship, every type of relationship that you can think of.
There was a time in America not long ago when rock 'n' roll was called race music, and white kids who wanted to go see Chuck Berry were completely forbidden.

That's the shock: All cliches are true. The years really do speed by. Life really is as short as they tell you it is. And there really is a God - so do I buy that one? If all the other cliches are true... Hell, don't pose me that one.
People are always throwing things at me that I've said and I say that I didn't mean anything.
