„Deti sú neskutočne dôležité. Oni sú budúcnosťou sveta.“

„Moja mama bola konzervatívna, ja som bol tiež. Keď som zistil, čo to znamená, rýchlo som zmenil svoj názor. Ako deti zvykneme napodobňovať našich rodičov.“

„Neznášam záhradkárčenie, ale milujem záhrady.“

„Nemám nikoho, komu by som prenechal svoje peniaze. Som sám a baví ma míňať svoje peniaze.“

„Sláva priťahuje bláznov.“

„Najhoršia vec, ktorú môžete urobiť pre dieťa, je dať mu všetko.“

„Myslím, že všetci umelci sa predvádzajú, hlavne hudobníci. Bez toho, že by ste sa predvádzali, si vás nikto nevšimne.“

„Milujem každú minútu otcovstva. Byť celú noc hore, vymieňať plienky, zdá sa mi to všetko skutočne zábavné a inšpirujúce. Človeka to viaže k svetu úplne novým spôsobom.“

„Nestrieľajte, som len klavirista!“

“For each man in his time is Cain
Until he walks along the beach
And sees his future in the water,
A long lost heart within his reach.”

“While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters,
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night.
For unless they see the sky,
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light.”

“Don't let the sun go down on me.
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see.
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free.
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me.”

“Hey Nikita is it cold
In your little corner of the world?
You could roll around the globe
And never find a warmer soul to know.Oh I saw you by the wall,
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row.
With eyes that looked like ice on fire,
The human heart a captive in the snow.”

“People should be very free with sex, but they should draw the line at goats.”

“And you can cage the songbird,
But you can't make her sing.
And you can trap the free bird,
But you'll have to clip her wings.
`Cause she'll soar like a hawk when she flies,
But she'll dive like an eagle when she dies.”

“For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom.
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the world outside.
Thinking of the way
That the wind can turn the tide.
And these shadows turn
From purple into grey.”

“But oh how it feels so real,
Lying here with no one near.
Only you and you can't hear me
When I say softly, slowly.Hold me closer tiny dancer,
Count the headlights on the highway.
Lay me down in sheets of linen,
You had a busy day today.”

“You may not believe it,
But I don't believe in miracles anymore.
And when I think about it,
I don't believe I ever did for sure.
All the things I've said in songs,
All the purple prose you bought from me.
Reality's just black and white.
The sentimental things I'd write
Never meant that much to me.”

“In the quiet silent seconds I turned off the light switch
And I came down to meet you in the half light the moon left.
While a cluster of night jars sang some songs out of tune,
A mantle of bright light shone down from a room.”

“We'll kill the fatted calf tonight, so stick around,
You're gonna hear electric music, solid walls of sound.”

“Yeah I'm gonna kill myself,
Get a little headline news.
I'd like to see what the papers say
On the state of teenage blues.”

Grow some funk of your own.

But there might be a death in Mexico tonight
If you can't grow some funk of your own amigo.”

And he shall be a good man.
And he shall be Levon,
In tradition with the family plan.
And he shall be Levon,
And he shall be a good man.
He shall be Levon.”

“"Wuthering Heights" was not your normal type song — but that's why it was so brilliant. It was something out the norm. When something like that comes along, they don’t come along that often.
When does the next Kate Bush come along, after Kate Bush? There hasn’t been one.”

“And I want you to be my acrobat, I want you to be my lover.
Oh there were others who would treat you cruel,
But oh Jeannie, I will always be your fool.”

“You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use”

“So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen”
