I went on a few auditions for Broadway musicals, and never stopped taking classes, but I didn't take it seriously until I was out of college.
All the way on the West Coast, never having seen a Broadway show, it was like, 'They don't want me. There's nothing there for me.' I'd come to New York a lot and never even tried to see a Broadway show. There was no reason for me to do that.
Back in 1978, when I was still in high school, I went to see a Broadway show, 'Paul Robeson,' starring James Earl Jones. It was all about Robeson's journey as a human being, an artist, a champion of civil rights. Had I not seen the play, I might not have known who Robeson was. I was certainly never taught about him in school.
The fact that ticket prices are way too expensive, and there's only one bunch of people going to see Broadway shows, is something I've never liked.
Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.
If no one ever broke the rules, then we'd never advance.
I've always wanted to be a brooding, deep, dark artist, but I can never keep that facade going for more than 15 minutes.
Even though I never worked with her, it was still really cool to have Brooke Shields on set. She was so nice and so funny.
I tell people I'm from all over Brooklyn because I never stayed in one part of Brooklyn.
I never mentioned my sexuality to Warner Bros. at all, and they never mentioned it to me, thank God.
I have never been to a brothel. I don't think I could go into one.
Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him.
I was more of a melodic player. Angus was more into the rock world. Straightaway, I said this is how we should do it. It was never a brotherly squabble but the opposite, because we just wanted to do good as a band.
Diligence is the mother of good fortune, and idleness, its opposite, never brought a man to the goal of any of his best wishes.
If wrinkles must be written on our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old.

Pop music will never be low brow.
I've never been able to feel that there is anything undignified about making your living by the sweat of your brow.
I never got the chance to meet Linda Brown; there were several times we were supposed to meet or be on the same stage together, but life gets in the way, and it never happened.
With Netflix, I browse; I watch documentaries about things I'd never dream of, but I think, 'I might as well.'
