When you’re on your fifth album, you are going to be judged against all your previous work and expectations.

You gotta wear the right trousers if you’re gonna be a rock star.

I’ve had tinnitus for about ten years, and since I started protecting my ears it hasn’t got any worse – touch wood.

You know, it’s possible for two humans to be in a relationship without there needing to be some public reason for that relationship.

Some people misconstrue our band just to be a commercial venture.

Being such a big band is never a problem but it can be distracting.

The best present a man can give a woman is his undivided attention.

I think men are afraid to be with a successful woman, because we are terribly strong, we know what we want and we are not fragile enough.

Don’t base a relationship on sex. You need love, compassion and caring. Then sex can be a reflection of that.

I never talk about my wife: we’re both in public professions but we try to keep our private life private.

The only other person who has a clue about what this is, the good, the bad, is your partner.

I guess I am just not the marrying type. I have given it a few chances, and it just goes haywire after a month or two. I am on wife number five right now, maybe five’s a charm?

Strange to see how a good dinner and feasting reconciles everybody.

The most beautiful girls wear their hearts on their sleeves and their souls in their smiles.

“They stood there pretending to be just friends when all the while everyone in the room could plainly see that they were only existing for each other.

One day it just hit me. This is it. You are not in love. So either stay in it because you have a child or be brave and find the man of your dreams and marry him for real.

I don’t like anybody to be angry with me. I’d rather have friends.

Business, you know, may bring money, but friendship hardly ever does.

He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began.

Lasting love and forgiveness are two sides of the same page.

By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you’ll be happy. If you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher… and that is a good thing for any man.
