It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.

• I want to get old gracefully. I want to have good posture, I want to be healthy and be an example to my children.
• I can't really change my life to accommodate people who are jealous. I don't see why I should.
• I learned to change my accent in England, your accent identifies you very strongly with a class, and I did not want to be held back.
• The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life, in living life happily, as it should be lived. Living for the moment.
• That sense of failure, I don't know where people put it who don't write songs and aren't able to emote physically. It must go somewhere.
• I'm not much of a family man. I'm just not that into it. I love kids, I adore them, but I don't want to live my life for them.
• I come from a family of losers, and I've rejected my family as something I don't want to be like.
• I was famous overnight. I went from nowhere to being really big.
• I'm very much afraid of being mad - that's my one fear.
• I have been through various fitness regimes. I used to run about five miles a day and I did aerobics for a while.
