Everything I thought I'd hate about having children - the crying, the screaming - nothing fazes me. I love it all, and it's relaxed me.
It's just so wonderful to have someone in the house like a child to turn your attention to. It's not about you anymore, it's about this lovely little human being.
I'm a great lover of children. I never thought that one day I'd actually be a father, but I'm very pleased that I changed my mind. Children are extremely important. They are the future of the world.
Although it hasn't been a commercial success, it has been a critical one. We love playing it.
I'm very shocked and I hope it's not as bad as it sounds. I'm a friend of Pete's. I love Pete, and my thoughts are with him.
I'm very shocked and I hope it's not as bad as it sounds, ... I'm a friend of Pete's. I love Pete, and my thoughts are with him.
I really appreciate my performing so much better, as I get older. I don't take it for granted anymore. I really relish it and love it.
We live in an age, in an era where there is so much negativity, there is so much violence in the world, there is so much unrest and people are at war, that I wanted to promote the word love and red signifies love.
Love is the key we must turn, truth is the flame we must burn.
Love's like a junkie, addiction's a fact. Passion's a monkey, you can't keep off your back.
I mean, Sting is one of my great buddies and I love him to death.
It was Scotty Moore's guitar riff [in "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You"] when he was doing The Steve Allen Show that got me into rock music.
We're very lucky to live in Britain. I cannot think of a more tolerant place to live.
I've played in Biloxi (Miss.) many times. I'm just glad we can do a little something for those people's lives that will never be the same again for many, many years. God bless them.
