I think a lot of that album ["Tonight" ] is still very good . . . the songs, but I think I was indifferent to the arrangements.

When you think about it, Adolf Hitler was the first pop star.

Everywhere I looked, demons of the future [were] on the battlegrounds of one’s emotional plane.

There, in the chords and melodies, is everything I want to say. The words just jolly it along. It's always been my way of expressing what for me is inexpressible by any other means.

I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image.

My sexual nature is irrelevant. I'm an actor, I play roles, fragments of myself.

Sexuality and where it is going is an extraordinary question, for I don't see it going anywhere. It is with me, and that's it.
