I'd quite like to have one place where I stay put. And I don't like living in cities all the time. In order to have ideas, you have to have some peace and quiet.

I can't understand it when people are closed-minded. I mean, boy, have I made mistakes and been very wrong. I can't tell you the amounts of times I've been let down, but I still try to see the best in people.

I think it's beautiful to be able to cover yourself in metal. I love the color and the way it reflects. But it is also a protection.

Holding a note is a very difficult thing - you have to use your whole body to achieve a perfect pitch.

I never read gossip press. I just read books. And I never switch on the TV any more.

Memories are like mercury. Every time you sort of try to get near them, they slip out of your hand like a bar of soap.

I think life is about having the mixture of the curiosity of an older person and the imagination of a child.
