I'm a culture vulture, and I just want to experience it all.

I don't really memorize every little thing I have to do because then I start to think about it too much! I like to keep it in the here and now and not what's coming up.

Working as a solo artist has given me a confidence that I didn't have with Blondie.

There are all these different areas of specialization. That's it. You have to be a specialist nowadays. There's no other way. I was an artist for a long time, but I was always into being a general practitioner. I did a little of this and a little of that. And nothing got me anywhere. You have to specialize. If you don't specialize, it takes you until you're about fifty years old before anybody notices that you're doing anything at all.

Morality should have to do with killing people or hurting them or stealing from them, but when it comes to adult choices, I don't see it.

And New Year's Eve is very, very important to me.

I've had some lovely extraordinary experiences on New Year's Eve.
