There's a beauty to wisdom and experience that cannot be faked. It's impossible to be mature without having lived.

Celibacy is not just a matter of not having sex. It is a way of admiring a person for their humanity maybe even for their beauty.

Having inner beauty is something you develop on your own and I like to think I have that.

I always said punk was an attitude. It was never about having a Mohican haircut or wearing a ripped T-shirt. It was all about destruction and the creative potential within that.

Having a child makes you strong and gives you chutzpah. It relaxed my attitude to the job my center of focus shifted which I think is very helpful because even if you're not a very indulgent actor you spend a lot of time thinking about yourself. I don't think that is particularly healthy.

But having said that there's also a sea change in attitude towards media.

Whenever I'm having a bad day and have an attitude I stay home. I keep it at home.

And I tell you having girls has made me a much better man. I have friends who are fathers but they only have boys and they have the same attitude toward women they always had you know? And I don't play that... My girls you mess with them? I will bury you underground.

I was always the guy getting kicked out of my classes at school for having an attitude problem.

I went to England in the '70s and I was in my early 20s. There was still a residue of that era of being an underclass or colonial. I assume it must have been a more aggressive and prominent attitude 40 years before that because Australia internationally wasn't regarded as having much cultural value. We were a country full of sheep and convicts.

Having a clear faith based on the creed of the church is often labeled today as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along by every wind of teaching look like the only attitude acceptable to today's standards.

I think whether you're having setbacks or not the role of a leader is to always display a winning attitude.

Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done.

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.

There is nothing Sir too little for so little a creature as man. It is by studying little things that we attain the great art of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible.

I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own.

No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger.

Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger of having gone through an experience all the way to the end where no one can go any further.

Even in literature and art no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will nine times out of ten become original without ever having noticed it.

The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band but now they are really another band so it's all a bit weird.

I've been trying to learn how to not be so conflicted about things like my own anger. I've always had a place in my music for my anger as a way of compensating for not having a mechanism to express it in my everyday life. So I've been trying to be more true to myself and that helps me to chill out a little bit. But politically uh-uh. No.

Growing up in a particular neighborhood growing up in a working-class family not having much money all of those things fire you and can give you an edge can give you an anger.

As far as having peace within myself the one way I can do that is forgiving the people who have done wrong to me. It causes more stress to build up anger. Peace is more productive.

Having my first number one single and being able to travel to places I've never been before has been amazing. The tour was also fantastic. There are so many things which I've experienced this year which I never even dreamed of.
