In 1998 I invested in the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship at Strathclyde Uni and subsequently put more capital into enterprise education to try and help change the culture.
I stone got crazy when I saw somebody run down them strings with a bottleneck. My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and I said that I had to learn.
The poets' scrolls will outlive the monuments of stone. Genius survives; all else is claimed by death.
I cannot belong to a nation which permits such barbarities as stoning to death and amputation - I don't care what religion it is.
The most successful people I've worked with, like the Rolling Stones - people of a different, kind of legendary caliber - have such great, warm energy.
It's good fun, making a solo album, because there's perhaps songs that wouldn't get used for the Stones or any other kind of outfit that I'm working with. It's just nice to be the boss.
Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the danger of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot' than the stigma of conformity.

Eventually there are going to be chips in brains. Imagine if you could just buy knowledge and download it into your head instead of having to learn it. Like in 'The Matrix.' Imagine all the years saved!
If I had married someone wealthy when I was young, I would have sunk like a stone. Being skint makes life quite clear. You've got to take that job.
Life's up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals. Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want.
Growing up I used to love bands like Free and ELO and the Rolling Stones. When Robert Plant got in touch it made perfect sense to me.
As much as I love Slipknot, I don't want that to carry over into what I do for Stone Sour. I want both bands to stand on their own.
Every church is a stone on the grave of a god-man: it does not want him to rise up again under any circumstances.
I need therapy after writing. It's like leaking blood from a stone. It's brutally difficult but worth it.
Sticks and stones can break your bones, yet words will never hurt you…unless you believe them.
Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can never hurt you…unless you believe them.
I listen to Radio 4 and put the iPod on shuffle. I like the randomness of, say, the Stones, then something from Nina Simone, Nick Drake or Bob Dylan.
The mind is the chisel, matter is the stone and life is the sculpture. Make sure you use your chisel wisely
The first session I did with the Stones was an accident. I just happened to be wandering down the hallway of the same studio.
The road may be rough, the journey may be tough and the experience may be bitter, but they are stepping stones to our future thrones
