The stars are matter, we're matter, but it doesn't matter.

Man has done a lot to make himself dangerous and animals get the worst of all of it. But then, man too is an animal.

When I see a dolphin, I know it's just as smart as I am.

Johnny Rotten. He's a big fan of mine. I used to see him out in the audience in England and he'd stand up and holler. He's funny. Smart too, and a nice guy. Don't think he's a jerk because he isn't.

Most of modern rock and roll is a product of guilt.

I'd rather play a tune on a horn, but I've always felt that I didn't want to train myself. Because when you get a train, you've got to have an engine and a caboose. I think it's better to train the caboose. You train yourself, you strain yourself.

An audience can really lift you right up off the stage.

You can tell by the kindness of a dog how a human should be.

But I have been in some very beautiful churches, then I've looked outside and seen people starving to death.

You can almost judge how screwed up somebody is by the kind of toilet paper they use. Go in any rich house and it's some weird coloured embossed stuff.

I don't look like a desert person because I stay indoors most of the day and fool around at night. That's what the desert animals do - they don't have a tan either.

I think most people try to get others to see through their eyes.

That Sid Vicious was obviously a schizophrenic, kind of a mean one too.

I don't do lullabyes.

Bob Dylan impresses me about as much as... well, I was gonna say a slug but I like slugs.

I live in a Mobile Home - I've never had a house, except once; I rented a log cabin.

I'm interested in playing, not working.

The stars are matter, we're matter, but it doesn't matter.

I don't think artists are made, I think they're born.

I'd never just want to do what everybody else did. I'd be contributing to the sameness of everything.

I have no neighbours other than animals and Joshua Trees.

I needed to purge myself of all the attention my parents had given me - I wasn't neglected enough as a child.

I think Shakespeare is really the one. Words as music and music as words. Everything he wrote was good, which is really frightening.

I don't even know what sound is, much less what it's for. It isn't to make money that's for sure. I've never made any.

With my voice and my band, I can do anything.

The wind is a very difficult sound to get. It's always changing.

I would never kill a living thing, although I probably have inadvertently while driving automobiles.

James Brown is important because he decorates the clock correctly and he's good with lower mathematics. Don't get me wrong - he's good.

If you want to be a different fish jump out of school.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced.

You got to try and reach for the stars or try and achieve the unreachable.

Man is a microcosm, or a little world, because he is an extract from all the stars and planets of the whole firmament, from the earth and the elements; and so he is their quintessence.

I've been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues.

If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?

You know, there was a time, just before I started to study physical science, when astronomers thought that systems such as we have here in the solar system required a rare triple collision of stars.

I thought that I was going to have to pay them to do what I wanted to do, that was how much fun I was having. You're 20 years old and you're hanging out with rock stars and going to fabulous parties, and then you talk about it!

I might have been born in a hovel but I am determined to travel with the wind and the stars.

Oh, don't let's ask for the moon. We've already got the stars.

An ass may bray a good while before he shakes the stars down.

A lot of country pubs will receive Michelin stars.

For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress, And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.

We are merely the stars tennis-balls, struck and bandied which way please them.

It is greater than the stars - that moving procession of human energy; greater than the palpitating earth and the things growing thereon.

If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare.

I suppose young people think football is glamorous - soccer - it's big money and the stars of it, they look good and have a great big house and a huge Ferrari.

When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

Have you ever, on a cloudless night, looked down from a passing aircraft flying over Canada? Endless, glowing strings of cities, towns, and homesteads. Stretching on and on, one province to the next. With only the stars in the distance.

Those who build beneath the stars build too low.
