I wanted to rewrite how rock music was perceived.

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.

The character thing really is sort of, for me, personally, rather ancient history.

I think getting married and then running away for 10 months would be an absolute disaster.

To be taken seriously about doing something creative and probably travel a lot. That was my motivation. I knew I was good, I knew I could write. I also knew you could get laid really easily.

Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe Put your ray gun to my head Press your space face close to mine, love Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah!

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