I have a lot of fun playing quote unquote villains because I think the bad guys get to have more fun, right?

I'm the youngest of six kids, and I grew up with a lot of noise, a lot of music, and a lot of laughter.

When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.

I was never too keen on the British music press. They've called us a supermarket hype, and they used to suggest that we didn't write our own songs.

I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics.

We're a bit flashy, but the music's not one big noise.

I'm just a musical prostitute, my dear.

I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think.

The basis of moral principles is to have a real concern for the well-being of others and an appreciation of the oneness of humanity. Whether science or religion is constructive or destructive depends on our motivation and whether we are guided by moral principles.

Those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.

Lectures should go from being like the family singing around the piano to high-quality concerts.

In a budget, how important is art versus music versus athletics versus computer programming? At the end of the day, some of those trade-offs will be made politically.
