I'll only retire in the day I should be dead and they have me buried, and some idiot spell over my casket some stupid gospel stuff.
I couldn't be a royal. It's like living in a supersonic goldfish bowl.
Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you! Don't you try and teach me no original sin; I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in
I'm a very simple man. You've got to have, like, a computer nowadays to turn the TV on and off... and the nightmare continues.
I used to fantasize that Paul McCartney would marry my sister.
L.A.'s not a good place to grow old.
Still, one of the few good things about being dyslexic is that when I say I don’t read reviews, I mean I don’t read reviews.
Somebody said to me this morning, 'To what do you attribute your longevity?' I don't know. I mean, I couldn't have planned my life out better. By all accounts I should be dead! The abuse I put my body through: the drugs, the alcohol, the lifestyle I've lived the last 30 years!

If that's the only thing that's stopping war then thank God for the bomb.
The power of people, when they focus on something positive, never fails to amaze me.
You’ve got to try and take things to the next level, or you’ll just get stuck in a rut.
I think war is just part of human nature. And I’m fascinated by human nature – especially the dark side. I always have been. It doesn’t make me a Devil worshipper, no more than being interested in Hitler makes me a Nazi. I mean, if I’m a Nazi, how come I married a woman who’s half Jewish?
