I distrust the wisdom if not the sincerity of friends, who would hold my hands while my enemies stab me.

A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man, that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of his friends, and that the most liberal professions of good will are very far from being the surest marks of it. I should be happy that my own experience had afforded fewer examples of the little dependence to be placed upon them.

Simon Cowell and I are great friends and we wind each other up. Rod Stewart and I do the same thing.

I'm lost in the middle of my birthday. I want my friends, their touch, with the earth's last love. I will take life's final offering, I will take the last human blessing.

Friends must always be treated as if one day they might be enemies.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.
