Put me on stage and I'm happy.

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.

When you win a world title, you are motivated to work.

In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.

For me, the highest level of sexual excitement is in a monogamous relationship.

I never had little brothers, so I was totally not used to hearing a lot of cussing at a young age! I learned what 'pull my finger' meant the hard way.

We want to do what is good for Cardiff and for the long-term survival, and hopefully Cardiff can be around for a long time and, God willing, be around in the Premier League.

If you make yourself into a doormat, people will wipe their feet on you.

You find a personality whom you think the TV audience will embrace and find a format that is tailor-made for the personality. In the case of Andy Griffith, we moved the personality of a wily country shark - a funny and shrewd guy - into another arena. In this case, he is a lawyer, and it is a dramatic series.

Because of their very nature, science and logical thinking can never decide what is possible or impossible. Their only function is to explain what has been ascertained by experience and observation.

I learned early on, stay away from politics, stay away from religion and don't talk about sports. Those three right there will get you in trouble.

When I started out back in Louisville, there was Harry Collins. He was my first teacher. He saw that I was so obsessed with magic that he taught me the love of magic.

My mother had to stop me reading to make me go and get some fresh air. I used to get so annoyed. She actually had to sit on my book because, otherwise, I would find it.

What's difficult with doing 'The Producers' is your appetite is enormous. You want money; you want boards; you have huge desires. You've got to want more than anything for two and a half hours. Everything is heightened.

Time can behave like another direction in space under extreme conditions.

The high road is always respected. Honesty and integrity are always rewarded.

With the Mongolian horse warfare, I did a lot of research into the Mongol art of war.

I grew up in a family of secrets; there was a lot of pathology in the family.

I took some time out for life.

Meetings get a bad rap, and deservedly so - most are disorganized and distracted. But they can be a critical tool for getting your team on the same page.

I think I'm fairly good with money, but I've developed some strange tics - in shops I don't like to go to the counter unless I've got at least two things to buy. If I'm walking around with just one thing in my hand I'll put it back and wait a few weeks because that doesn't seem like a proper purchase.

I may be old-fashioned. But I believe there is such a thing as a search for beauty - a delight in the nice things in the world. And I don't think one should have to apologise for it.

There are thousands of people outside the O2 queuing up to see people like Skepta and JME.

The thing about hearing loss is that no one can see it. Most people are so impatient; they just assume that the person with hearing loss is being rude, or slow-witted.

Properly speaking, history is nothing but the crimes and misfortunes of the human race.

Mitch Hurwitz was like a father figure to me. He was so sweet, and he's just so smart.
