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.

Please forgive me, I know not what I do. Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you.

One day I'll wake up and I'll have 10 or 12 songs and think, 'Oh that sounds like it could be a record.

I never took a grant or borrowed a penny from anybody. It was partially because I didn't really know how to do that, but secondly, my pride never would have allowed me to. In the beginning it was about doing it the right way, on the merits of the music.

To be a celebrity, I couldn't think of anything more cringe-worthy.

One night love affair, pretending we don't care, and now we're left with nothing.

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