I had always thought of starting my own record company. I haven't regretted the decision - yet!

My dad's music was a great inspiration to me.

He was like a real dad, you know. We used to sit down with guitars and mess around.

I've found constancy and balance between creativity and normality.

I had always thought of starting my own record company. I haven't regretted the decision - yet!

On the one hand, I've had such a normal upbringing with my mum, who has kept me grounded, but on the other, the wild experiences through my dad.

He wasn't a great father. He was a great musician. That's always been a touchy one, and it will be until I can find the answer, but I don't know if there is one.

A lot of people think that I grew up in recording studios and knew the whole process, but that was never the case.

As much as I love music, in my mind, photography is what makes me the happiest - that's for sure.

Dad could talk about peace and love out loud to the world, but he could never show it to the people who supposedly meant the most to him: his wife and son. How can you talk about peace and love and have a family in bits and pieces - no communication, adultery, divorce? You can't do it, not if you're being true and honest with yourself.

I am a complete mother's boy. I try to do everything with honour, respect and grace because the last thing I would want to do is hurt her.

I don't meditate in any formal way, but I often lie in bed or find myself in nature and enter into that state of quiet where I get images, feelings, or melodies.

I find it upsetting to see the erosion of manners. It's very scary. Where are the 'pleases' and 'thank yous?'

I get twitchy if I don't pick up a guitar or sit at the piano every now and then... I have to do it; I don't have a choice.

I have a short temper - I think it's part of the Celtic background. I used to be a lot more angry, but I was quite discreet with it.

I love to sit on a mountain top and gaze. I don't think of anything but the people I care about and the view.

I realise myself that hate wastes a lot of time and energy, and I would rather re-direct any energy that I have to good and positive use.

I think everyone has the potential to be creative, but they have to find the avenue or avenues that work for them.

I'm not one for flings, I can tell you that.

I'm one of those people who snake through the crowd, keep my head low. I'm not looking for attention.

I've been a philanthropist for all my life, and... I've had many involvements in humanitarian and environmental issues.

I've done every kind of touring known to mankind. I've played the big and the small places.

If you bring a child into this world, whether it's planned or an accident, you'd better make sure you can care for it. You have to be around. You make time. It's as simple as that.

Like most photographers, I try to capture a moment in my work.

Music's been with me from the get-go. It was always around me as a kid. Dad got me my first guitar when I was 11 and, at school, if you wanted to be cool you had to be in a band.

My goal in life has been to be a songsmith, not a pop person.

People are generally badly advised when they're starting out in the creative field.

I'm doing a little consulting. I'm somewhat retired, still a director of a company or two.

Take the tone of the company you are in.

So I decided to form a production company with my wife and our partner Diane.

Even when I'm writing plays I enjoy having company and mentally I think of that company as the company I'm writing for.

This kid's excited because he's with Bad Company and I'm excited because I'm with Chuck Berrys' son.

It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.

Hope is generally a wrong guide, though it is very good company by the way.

Without In The Company of Men, I could still be teaching, so who knows if this would've existed.

All business success rests on something labeled a sale, which at least momentarily weds company and customer.

People are stunned to hear that one company has data files on 185 million Americans.

That co-operation and peace rather than industrial strife and strikes will best promote the prosperity of the employees the company and all of the people and even strengthen the nation.

Our loss was very heavy, especially in the officers. Capt. Sale, of Co. E, Duke's regt, was among the killed, making the third Capt. that has been killed in that company.

It's like, it's up to the people to fall in love with the song. The record company can only do so much.

I used to be pretty reckless. When I was a runner for a production company, I drove a massive 16 seater van. I was only 18. I mean I look young now, but then I looked about 12.

A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.

People who have nothing to do are quickly tired of their own company.

No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting. She will not want new fashions nor regret the loss of expensive diversions or variety of company if she can be amused with an author in her closet.

I didn't need to depend on the record company to publish my records.

So I've learned in the past, if a company approaches me and they want something like this, or something like that that I've done and I turn them down, they're going to do it anyhow.

No company can afford not to move forward. It may be at the top of the heap today but at the bottom of the heap tomorrow, if it doesn't.

I am not influenced by the techniques or fashions of any other motion picture company.

Hollywood is what you make it; you have to choose company with care because you become what they are.
