Why do they cover Paul's songs but never mine?
I think energy is the most important thing that we can give to people as performers. Anything else is a little bit pretentious. But energy is not.
I think that there is a sort of spiritual power that is translating into our bodies as we perform. Performers give, and giving is so important. It can heal. That is my experience, anyway.
Your private life is really very important for you. You know, all of us, you know.
True artists are prophets. I don't want to be that prophetic in that sense because it's so lonely.
Sometimes the father feels pushed out because of the connection between the mother and the child.
If you have too many quotes from other people in your head, you can't create. You have to keep your head empty. That's why I am constantly enjoying the sky, the park, the walk.
I am extremely rebellious. I have this strong, defiant spirit.
Energy is so important. If you don't have it, don't bother with rock and roll.
Countries have lost their culture because what they wanted was money. Money became the running theme in every country and culture was sacrificed.
I'm very thankful that I can make people happy just by signing my name.
Artists and musicians of the Sixties were definitely into clothes.
People are still thinking of solving problems by violence and war, and that has to stop.

When you are suffering, you become more understanding about yourself, but also about other people's sufferings too. That's the first step to understand somebody is to understand their sufferings. So then love follows.

We artists have the dignity to tell the truth to the people, unlike politicians.
Distance doesn't exist, in fact, and neither does time. Vibrations from love or music can be felt everywhere, at all times.
To me, the concept of distance is not important. Distance doesn't exist, in fact, and neither does time. Vibrations from love or music can be felt everywhere, at all times.
I like artists who have something to say, not wallpaper.
