Another year, another endless supply of quips from music stars with special shout outs to Katy Perry, Ringo Starr, Slash and Ke$ha. Here's the best of what they, and others, had to say to yours truly in 2010:
IMAGE IS/ISN'T EVERYTHING:
"Yeah, I could be the No. 1 nose-picker as well."
-- Katy Perry on being named No. 1 in Maxim magazine's annual Hot 100 list
"How I'm going to be buried is not in my regular train of thought. But since you asked, that might be a cool little touch."
-- Slash on being buried in his trademark top hat

"I mean look, I write love songs, I don't want biker guys at my show."
-- Bruno Mars on having screaming girls at his concerts
"In this picture, I looked like a toothless hillbilly. I looked like Festus from frickin' Gunsmoke."
-- Colin James on an old photo that used to haunt him
"My hair's the fifth band member."
-- Ke$ha
"I was hoping that the reaction would be more along the lines of, 'Oh, that Lambert! He's so silly and over the top!' "
-- Adam Lambert on the uproar after he sucked face with a male band member on the 2009 American Music Awards
"I was like the Rodney Dangerfield (of the group)."
-- Steven Page on always getting asked for I.D. by bouncers at Barenaked Ladies gigs
BLUNT TALK:
"I've got an exaggerated personality I suppose. Let's face it. If that's all I've come out with that's a bit dodgy, that's not bad, really. I was immune to penicillin for years."
-- Robert Plant
"It's definitely better than if they were covering that piece of s--t Sex On Fire."
-- Kings of Leon singer Caleb Followill on pop acts Nick Jonas and Honor Society covering the band's Use Somebody
"I was frankly waiting for a few people to die. You come from the Mafia world (in Las Vegas), you never know."
-- Paul Anka on writing his autobiography
"Football players are generally overpaid and kind of really bratty. And football hooligans are just gross. So I try to avoid it as much as possible."
-- British Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke, who isn't a soccer fan
"I could have broken five strings and finished the night playing one string, wet my pants, and they would have loved us."
-- Randy Bachman on the Bachman and Turner reunion trek launch in Winnipeg
"Touring is a den of sin -- it really is."
-- The Strokes' lead singer, Julian Casablancas
"People who sell headlines in that dirt world have to have me, and people like me, to make their headlines. But I don't have to have them."
-- Politically incorrect country singer Toby Keith on tabloids
"I can't barely take care of my plants! I can't even imagine having children."
-- Tegan of Tegan and Sara
PHILOSOPHICALLY SPEAKING:
"You've got to be careful what you say in this world, because it'll come back to kick you in the pants."
-- Ozzy Osbourne
"I definitely have Saul Hudson. I think it's asking for trouble if you have Slash on your driver's licence."
-- Slash, who has his real name on his licence
"I just think in life you've got to have balls -- and I mean that not in a gross way."
-- Ke$ha
"Funk is its own reward."
-- George Clinton
FUNNY HA HA:
"I read in the paper that they'd found some tracks that had never been out. I hope they send me a copy!"
-- Ringo Starr on The Fab Four, The 4 Complete Ed Sullivan Shows: Starring The Beatles
"I'm basically good for another 50,000 miles."
-- Paul Stanley on having two hip replacement surgeries
"It could have easily been called It's About F---ing Time."
-- Barenaked Ladies frontman Ed Robertson on the band's long-awaited new album, All in Good Time
"Our thing was, 'How do you die? Are you going to be beheaded? Drawn and quartered? An arrow through the eye?' "
-- Sean McCann on Great Big Sea bandmate Alan Doyle acting in the movie Robin Hood
"I met a guy in his 20s a few weeks ago, he didn't recognize me. And it gradually came up what I did and he said, 'You're in that movie!' And that's all he knew about me!"
-- Rush drummer Neil Peart on the band's cameo in 2009's I Love You Man
"I would have sang that from the coffin, are you kidding?"
-- Canadian opera star Measha Brueggergosman on performing at the Olympics opening ceremony after undergoing open heart surgery in June 2009
CAREER COUNSELLING:
"B.B. King's still playing but he is sitting down, (I'm like) 'Hey I'm sitting down already!' As long as I can hold a stick, it can go on forever."
-- Ringo Starr, who turned 70 this year
"If you stand still they throw dirt on you."
-- Paul Anka
"It's still endlessly fascinating to people. I mean, everybody's got a lot in life to deal with, and if that's mine, I'm not complaining."
-- Jacob Dylan on being the son of Bob.
"I shouldn't be locked up in some tower room."
-- The Tragically Hip's Gord Downie on making solo records
"It doesn't bother me that I can't play drums anymore. It bothers me more that it takes twice as long to get dressed."
-- Phil Collins on retiring due to nerve damage in his left hand
"I just think music is music. You've got good and you've got bad, and I try to stay on the good side."
-- Reba McEntire on covering Beyonce's If I Were a Boy
