My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.

Possession isn't nine-tenths of the law. It's nine-tenths of the problem.

Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.

Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.

You're just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. You've got to get down to your own God in your own temple. It's all down to you, mate.
