“I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.”

“It's a wonderful, lucky thing to be able to do a job that you love.”

“I think success is being able to do what you love and get paid for it. That's it.”

“'Nights in White Satin' was a song about a love affair that had ended, but it was a song that I was still living.”

“The great thing about music is that it's an international language, and I love the fact that it brings people together.”

“You have to be true to yourself, and you have to be true to your music.”

“I've been very lucky. I've had a long and wonderful career, and I'm still doing it.”

“I believe that the audience is the most important part of the show. They're the ones who make it all worthwhile.”

“For me, songwriting is a very personal thing. I'm not very good at writing songs for other people.”

“I think the secret to a long career is to keep yourself interested. You have to keep learning and growing.”

“I've always been a bit of a romantic, and I think that comes out in my songs.”

“We were fortunate to be in the right place at the right time with the right songs.”

“I'm just a musician. I'm not a politician. I'm not a philosopher. I'm just a guy who writes songs.”

“My voice is my instrument, and I have to take care of it.”

“The Mellotron was a very important part of our sound. It gave us that orchestral, symphonic quality.”

“I don't think I'll ever retire. As long as I can sing and play, I'll keep doing it.”
