Justin Hayward Quotations

Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.

I can be stupid in my lyrics or say whatever I want without having to worry about anybody else's feeling or anybody being embarrassed by it or anything like that.

Did you ever look in the mirror And see a stranger standing there? Did you ever drive for miles and miles And wonder how on earth you got yourself there?

I sometimes don't know what songs are about for several years after I've written them.

My songs form a kind of biography or diary of my life as they are about people I have loved and people I only knew in my heart, places I have seen only for a moment and places I have lived all my life.

As you go along, you realize you have ambitions but when you get there, you want something else, so you're moving very quickly.

Nights in white satin never reaching the end Letters I've written never meaning to send Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before Just what the truth is I can't say any more Cause I love you Yes I love you Oh how I love you

And if you stop and think about it you won't believe it's true: That all the love you've been giving has all been meant for you.

Like our drummer Graeme (Edge) said, 'I couldn't bear to see the others go on with out ya,' ... So you got to stay in there until the end, really.

There's no secret, but inspiration has to find you working. And that's one of the key things that I've always remembered. And if I put my mind to it tonight, I think I could take a guitar, and by 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, something will have happened - I'll have had something to hang onto. But I think that's the key.
