Doctors dressed up in one professional costume or another have been in busy practice since the earliest records of every culture on earth. It is hard to think of a more dependable or enduring occupation harder still to imagine any future events leading to its extinction.

I think I'm going to be making country records for as long as I can see into the future. It's much more down-home and real.

Our records if you have a dark sense of humor were funny but our records weren't about comedy. They were about protests fantasy confrontation and all that.

I got IRS records to finance what I wanted to do.

Becoming famous and selling a lot of records doesn't change a thing.

The records of adopted children are sealed in California. That seal is considered inviolable... The judge ruled that because I was famous he didn't have the same rights as other kids.

My family although they're very large on both my parents' sides they don't know much about their family tree. Occasionally they try to dig but they can't get very far and it's baffling. In Dublin it seems that so many public records were wiped out it's proven to be very difficult so I know very little.

It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones.

I really do love Diana Ross I grew up listening to her records. I grew up in a little town in Mexico so while we got the music we never got the experience of watching her.

There are such beings as vampires some of us have evidence that they exist. Even had we not the proof of our own unhappy experience the teachings and the records of the past give proof enough for sane peoples.

If I could sell 500 million records every time it would be great. But I've also had the luxury experience of having it when I was a teenager in a very kind of model version of it.

I am fussy about my diet and straining my voice. I know sounds a bit over the top. But I'm not as bad as I used to be. These days I don't drink alcohol for five days before a show - very dehydrating for the vocal cords and all that acid reflux. I used to ban it for a fortnight. Nightmare.

I started off playing the clarinet after I was inspired by listening to my dad's Benny Goodman records.

I had just lost my dad and I remembered all the songs we used to go and hear at concerts and the records around the house and sometimes we'd play together.

The music I want to hear in my head sounds somewhere between Jimi Hendrix and Massive Attack. It's not really like my dad but there will always be similarities because we have the same vocal cords and I learnt the guitar the way he taught me.

My dad's sense of humor was direct and sometimes surreal - his quick wit is well known amongst our family and friends. He raised me on Spike Jones records and W.C. Fields movies and his sense of humor fell somewhere in between.

I like that band Get Hustle. They're cool live. I haven't heard their records though.

I think some people record songs and make records a certain way to cater to radio. If you're born to make commercial music that's cool. But if you're born to not make commercial records maybe you're meant to cater to another market.

We had incense and rock'n'roll posters and we sold records and rolling papers. People could just like hang out. We had a cool vibe going.

I think sometimes I guess you see records say you want to get there and use that as motivation. In a way it's kind of cool if there is a possibility to rewrite history and be up there with the greats of Olympic history.

I don't mind The Boss. I think he's an honest guy. I have some of his records not all of them. I've met a couple of the E-Street guys and they seem really cool.

The thing I do really is a communication with audiences more than any achievement through records.

I don't think radio is selling records like they used to. They'd hawk the song and hawk the artist and you'd get so excited you'd stop your car and go into the nearest record store.

I'm gonna be making records anyway even if I had to sell 'em out of the trunk of my car. I'm that kind of musician and singer.
