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

I think I quite desperately wanted to have that kind of special companionship [like marriage ] . . . a special relationship, yet I hid from it for many, many years and pretended to be cynical about it.

If I never wake again, I certainly will have lived while I was alive.

Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it's like, just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. You'd better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that's really the only unique situation that's going to be left.

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.

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

Speak in extremes, it'll save you time.
