I don't like people probing into my life, so I reveal as little as possible or lie about it as much as need be so as to give them something to write about.

I feel that what I do is always contemporary with the society I'm living in... If I wanted to explain myself, that's how I'd explain myself: that I'm a diarist.

I'll place my love beneath the stars.

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

I think I am a lot more relaxed about what I have or haven't done.

When you are an artist you can turn your hand to anything, in any style. Once you have the tools then all the artforms are the same in the end.

Fame can take interesting men and thrust mediocrity upon them.
