I am fascinated by history and particularly the Victorian era.

I'm an only child, you know, originally. I'm not a child anymore, but I certainly tend to spend a lot of time on my own.

When you get to be nearly 60, you do take stock. You don't know what's around the corner.

I grew up in a middle class household with parents, went to good schools, and never feared for anything, never wanted for anything that was really important. For all of us living in this world, all of us who have the resources, for us to not dedicate ourselves to giving something back, is to leave the world a lesser place.

If people like your music, you can't guarantee they're going to love you.

I don't think feminism is about the exclusion of men but their inclusion... we must face and address those issues, especially to include younger men and boys.

Each individual is as individual as their fingerprints, and I think that's extraordinary.
