Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them.

People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.

Although the masters make the rules for the wise men and the fools got nothing, Ma, to live up to.

A lot of people can’t stand touring but to me it’s like breathing. I do it because I’m driven to do it.

I’ve never written a political song. Songs can’t save the world. I’ve gone through all that.
