I've only ever trusted my gut on everything. I don't trust my head, I don't trust my heart, I trust my gut.

When your world has shattered, ain't nothing else matters. It ain't over, it's only love and that's all.

I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it, but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.

I watch everybody every night, from sitting down to being on their feet at the end, and I feel a sense of reinvention, of caring, presenting these songs in their purest form.

I don't like long tours. I find it much easier to go out for a short spurt every month.

I ate a big steak in 1988 and never felt worse. That was it, boom, over. Never again.

I'd been round the world a hundred times and had started to forget where I'd been. I knew I'd been there: it said it on the tour map. I could remember the name of the city but I couldn't remember what it was like - it was a massive blur.
