He has painted many roses for me. My walls are covered with Howard originals.

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

The guy who enters pro sports hasn't run scared from the 7th grade on. Until he enters the pros, it's been nothing but roses.

Treaties, you see, are like girls and roses; they last while they last.

If it wasn't for KISS, there would be no Guns N' Roses. Bands like that made Guns N' Roses. We were five guys with five personalities and five different influences. The stars were aligned for us.

I suppose I'm a healthier role model than, say, Slash of Guns N' Roses.

Maybe if you see me begging on the streets, you might find me doing The Stone Roses the next day.

I love to smell like roses, literally all day!

With the Roses, I knew we were great; I felt that we would achieve something. On my own, I had no idea.

This is rather different from the receptions I used to get fifty years ago. They threw things at me then but they were not roses.

And in this, towns begin to rethink how they organize the urban landscape so that people are encouraged to slow down and smell the roses and connect with one another.

I can't think of anyone who's reformed for art's sake. That's why the Roses will never reform.

If you really screw up, send roses.

With the Stone Roses, I always thought we'd be successful because we had some great songs.

My mother had a beautiful rose garden and would cut roses all summer and place in our house.

When I finished the trilogy of 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies, I had a gear shift and thought, 'I need to take a moment to smell the roses.'

With me it is exceptionally true that the Presidency is no bed of roses.

When I was young I used to watch MTV, Nirvana, or Guns N' Roses.

Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you.
