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

But I find that the keyboard is the complete instrument you know?

That's me. I can be me a bit at home, but I'm kind of like a square peg in a round hole.

When I did it, I was a starving musician in London in a basement flat, but a simple tune with the right singer or the right situation can become very well liked and accepted. I'm only too pleased to say it happened with that one.

The parrot's so funny. He imitates me and I don't even realize he's doing it. I'm walking around the house talking to myself and whistling and the next day he's said something I've said... it's scary you know?

It's funny, when I'm not on the road or doing stuff with Bad Company - or whatever- I've always written songs galore... a lot of stuff people don't even hear.

I'm ready for some rock 'n' roll action.

Since I've got on the Internet, it's opened a whole world of wasted time for me. My wife says she's an Internet widow.

Put me on stage and I'm happy.

I didn't like Los Angeles very much but I like San Francisco.

That's what I find with any good song, you just have to let it happen. Out of about twenty songs you might write, one of any significance. It might be thirty or forty, but I just keep churning them out and churning them out in hope that one of them will stick.

I've got a Range Rover. It's brilliant actually but it's manual.

We just sang real simple songs in a simple way that got to people. We didn't try to tart them up with orchestral arrangements and all the stuff. We were all blues fanatics. We like R+B and blues and simple, gut-feeling music.

Santa Fe is a great place which people don't get there often, but it's like a unique place.

Guitar is great for a certain thing, but a piano is so much more expansive.

I've had Range Rovers for a few years actually.

I have been playing a lot of keyboards, especially in the last five or six years. I suppose it gives you more scope than the guitar, although it does tend to make you write a different way.

I think that as you get older, you mellow out a lot more. Having been through the ups and downs in life, I feel more qualified to play the blues.

I'm not a country picker, really - I like a nice, beefy, raunchy sort of sound.

I've never had a plan - it was just to try and get with the people you like to play with, and try to do the best you can.

One of my big inspirations was Chuck Berry, and his playing was always about the rhythm and the lyrics. So I've always been that way in my playing, really.

Guitar is great for a certain thing but a piano is so much more expansive.

The life of Jesus Christ is a message of hope, a message of mercy, a message of life in a dark world.

People say, 'I know you, don't I?' And they expect me to say I know them from their daughter's school or something - they can't place me. And I love that. Long may it last.

He's a cocky sumbitch. That's what makes him such a great player.

When I was five, I always told my mom I would want to be an actor.

I don't have to be glamorous all the time.

Life may unfold chronologically for the body and for bureaucracies that keep track of such things as births, marriages, deaths, visas, tax returns, expulsions, and identity cards, but memory does not play this game in quite the same way, always manages to confound the desire for tidiness.

Either the Obamacare is a dead letter, or the origination clause is; we can't have both.

How, possibly, could the police have made the 'mistake' of charging the wrong man with the notorious Red Light Bandit crimes? That also is something that is fully revealed in the Pandora's Box of facts I have prepared.

At the dinner table if you cant think of anything to say sit quietly. Dont throw rolls or chew on your napkin.

I still do miss the freedom to play any kind of character I wanted to play.

Sometimes a single phrase of testimony can set events in motion that affect someone's life for eternity.

Honestly, I just try to live right, get enough sleep, and drink a lot of water. I do drink a lot of water; I do live by that. And just eating good clean food... I do love all of it. But I do definitely try to eat better organic food.

Emotional roller coasters tend to emphasize the lows, tend to be more affected by the low, by the dip in an emotional roller coaster than when you are at the peak.

The camera never lies, man. I've learned that. If you allow it, it will see right through you, which is kind of cool.

Everyone loves each other for the pilot. But once you start to do the show, you see everybody's true colors. If it's successful, people start to change, and then if it's not doing well, people start to change in other ways.

My focus has always been: I can be an incredibly conservative, principled idea person, but that doesn't mean I have to shout at people.

I had always done these 3D things that you could walk through. They were always done off the seat of my pants without blueprints or course.

I think there are so many extra benefits to running besides the health ones that come from getting your heart rate up, sweating, and all that other good stuff.

I had a difficult time getting my arms around Einstein's work, even when I was a physics major at one of the top universities in India.

I love 70's music.

No amount of anxiety can change the future. No amount of regret can change the past.

There is nothing more rare nor more beautiful than a woman being unapologetically herself comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me that is the true essence of beauty.

It looks like you can write a minimalist piece without much bleeding. And you can. But not a good one.

For an author, the nice characters aren't much fun. What you want are the screwed up characters. You know, the characters that are constantly wondering if what they are doing is the right thing, characters that are not only screwed up but are self-tapping screws. They're doing it for themselves.
