There have been times when I've written something and it goes out and it comes back in a letter from some kid as to what they think about it and I've taken their analysis to heart so much that I have taken up his thing. Writing what my audience is telling me to write.

I am a moderately good singer. I am not a great singer but I can interpret a song, which I don't think is quite the same as singing it.

I never really had much of an interest in fashion.

I think that the history of rock could be recycled in a different way and brought back into focus without the luggage that comes along with it.

I'll paint you moments of gold, I'll spin you Valentine evenings.

Fame can take interesting men and thrust mediocrity upon them.

In fact, everything I do is about the conceptualizing and realization of a piece of work, whether it's the recording or the performance side.
