Athletes and musicians make astronomical amounts of money. People get paid $100 million to throw a baseball! Shouldn't we all take less and pass some of that money onto others? Think about firefighters, teachers and policemen. We should celebrate people that are intellectually smart and trying to make this world a better place.
I love women and I love the women I have been with. I always try to be kind and cautious and treat people nice.
I've been meeting with Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino for years, trying to figure out how to fix the concert industry. We're all so overpaid. It's ridiculous. People stopped going to concerts because they can't afford them. The Rolling Stones are charging $650 per ticket! That just makes me speechless. I love the Stones, but I won't be attending.
I said it's all good and it's all in fun Now get in the pit and try to love someone

What perfect timing. I got a record coming up ... Maybe I should thank him.
My goal is to get quieter as I get older.
When you're on TV in America, the girls love you. I'm not complaining.
I think anybody that's worked hard and has built something and has been successful can testify to how, you know, how wonderful that was, how wonderful it still is.
