I acted in 'Almost Famous.' My album 'Fingerprints' won a Grammy Award in 2007. Even more prestigious, as far as my kids were concerned, I appeared in episodes of 'The Simpsons' and 'Family Guy.'

People tell me they got married to 'Baby, I Love Your Way.' It's heart-warming - I've been part of so many people's lives.

I was petrified about 'I'm in You.' I couldn't wait to get it done to know whether it was good or not.

When you don't have someone, you feel you want someone. Then when you do, it's nice to be single for one night.

I do live a simple existence.

I think 'I'm in You' was lackluster and way too light.

I would like to be No. 2 but never No. 1. When I was No. 1, all eyes were on me. No. 2 slips out the door quietly and makes another great record.

I often explain it to people that if you listen to a Who record and then go see the Who live, it's like two different bands. That's how Humble Pie worked. We were definitely a lot more ferocious live because of the energy that the entire population of us had.

I don't think I could ever be in a band if we just had to go out there and play the record note for note. I'd give up. I'd become a banker.

I had always been a jazz fan - Django Reinhardt, Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, the early George Benson. And I come from the Hank Marvin melodic upbringing. So blues, I loved, but I also liked jazz. Therefore, my style was more lyrical.

I didn't have huge expectations for 'Frampton Comes Alive!' My previous album, 'Frampton,' had sold about 300,000 copies - a decent amount but not mind-blowing. There was talk at the label that maybe the live record could go gold. I was hoping we could do it, but I wasn't sure.

A year before 'Frampton Comes Alive!' we had released the studio version of 'Show Me The Way' as a single - it was on the 'Frampton' album - and it totally tanked. Nothing.

I love living without a net.

I'm not a good thinker of tomorrow, looking forward. I live day-to-day. It's much easier for me that way.

I'm learning all the time. I've learned things like how to be a better person, better father, better husband.

I used to say it was painful to write lyrics about myself and looking inward.

Detroit has always been a rock and roll audience for me and picked up on me and my performances long before a lot of other places in the country. I will never forget that. It's a home away from home. I love it.

I think that my parents wanted my brother and I to do what they couldn't have done and live a free life and not worry about war.

Donald Trump is a symptom, not a disease. The disease is the death of real political conservatism: a cool, intelligent reluctance to believe that all change is good, a love for the established, the particular, and the well-worn.

Freedom of speech is freedom above all for those whose views you dislike most.

Skimmed milk was what they used to give to prisoners and workhouse inmates to go with their porridge and gruel. It's a punishment, not a drink.

The worst country I ever lived in, the old U.S.S.R., was crammed with privileges for the political elite. They had their own hospital, their own shops, country houses, and blocks of flats, special lanes on the streets so they could bypass the traffic in their special cars.

I have visited nearly 60 countries and lived in the U.S.S.R., Russia, and the U.S.A., and I have never experienced anything as good as what we have. Only in the Anglosphere countries - the U.S.A., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand - is there anything comparable. I am amazed at how relaxed we are about giving this away.

The point of Left-wing propaganda is to make us feel powerless.

It's interesting how thrillers reflect the times we live in.

If a man's reputation can be destroyed in an afternoon by a secret kangaroo court, then we, too, can one day be propelled into a pit of everlasting shame by the same process.

If tough old Lefty Helen Mirren can warm towards the Crown after impersonating Her Majesty, who's next? Since reigning and acting have so much in common, it's surprising all actors aren't fervent royalists.

Nobody under 55 knows anything much about life. Nobody under 30 knows anything.

A referendum is almost always a device by which governments get the voters to endorse what they wanted to do all along.

At every future election, there should be a slot, at the top of each ballot paper, in which we can put a cross against 'None of the below.'

If you really want to conceal something, leave it lying about where everyone can see it.

What is the point of the police if wrongdoers aren't afraid of them?

News isn't just what happens. It's what a fairly small group of people decide is news.

Fat does not make you fat.

The sad truth is that mass migration, whatever the colour of the skins of those involved, upsets and worries indigenous people, especially the poorest.

Nobody under the age of 55 should be able to stand for election, and nobody under the age of 30 should be able to vote in those elections.

The BBC TV programme 'Back In Time For Dinner' doesn't just have one of the cleverest titles ever. It is a more-than-usually-serious attempt to recreate the recent past, the day before yesterday.

In a supposedly free and equal country, there is no excuse for our rulers having VIP treatment. On the contrary, there is every reason for them to get what we get, hot and strong.

Mr. Corbyn reminds mature people of the days when the big parties really differed. He impresses the young because he doesn't patronise them, and obviously believes what he says.

If I never again had to read or write a word about homosexuals, I would be very happy.

Man without conscience is wilder and more dangerous than any beast.

We say we want politicians who are open and honest. And then, when we get one, we angrily pelt him with slime until he cringes to the mob, starts hiding his real views, and hires a spin doctor just like all the others.

If you know something damaging about a major political figure, then, in a democracy, it is surely your duty to tell the voters before they go to the polls.

For every cyclist who jumps a red light, a thousand drivers break speed limits or gape dangerously at their smartphones while driving.

I hate cars and wish they had never been invented. I try to use them only when I absolutely have to.

MPs do not work for you. They work for the lobbyists who have bought their parties.

Our education system teaches the young what to think, not how to think. And if you ever wonder why so many things don't work properly any more, or why you can't get any sense out of so many organisations, this is one of the main reasons.

Fear is good and useful when it's deployed on the side of common sense.

The picture of Prince Charles meeting Gerry Adams is inexpressibly sad.

A fierce and principled opposition stops a fat, complacent government from making stupid mistakes.
