"I've talked about sex a great deal in my music for a great while now. I feel very comfortable with it"

"Music is my religion"

"It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice"

"Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them"

"Sex is a part of nature. I go along with nature"

"Behind every great fortune lies a great crime"

"Men are only as great as they are kind"

"He's by best friend and the father of my children. He's a great ex"

"Music is the shorthand of emotion"

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do"

"To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization"
