Rick Springfield

“Everyone has a 'Jessie's Girl.' It's a universal feeling of wanting something you can't have.”

“Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it.”

“Success is not a destination, it's a journey.”

“It's the dark stuff that's easy to write. It's the joy that's hard to capture.”

“Depression has been my spiritual partner for my whole life. It's my Eeyore.”

“The main thing is to be yourself. And I know that's a cliche, but it's true.”

“I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.”

“I've always been a bit of a loner. I've always been a bit of an outsider.”

“I write about what I know. I write about what I feel. And that's all I can do.”

“All the things you think are important when you're young are not.”

“I wanted to be a rock star. That was my childhood dream.”

“In the 80s, I was the Donny Osmond of rock 'n' roll.”

“The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star.”
