I always say the new album is the best one yet. I always feel that - I really do, because it's the latest and it's the newest and it's a little bit better.

I think, actually, that rock and roll is a misconception. It should no longer be a term for music.

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

I get myself a gig somewhere, whether it's in a club, whether it's in a bar, it doesn't matter, and I just work on New Year's Eve because I always feel it's very symbolic for me for the next year, for the new year.

That was always what I felt was the beauty of Rock 'n' Roll, it was entertainment and showbiz yet it had the idea of the voice of the people, it had an essence to it which was socially motivated. Not that I want to change to world, you know? But it was sort of relevant to real life, it involved the real essence of poetry or the real essence of fine art. But it was also entertainment. That was the real vitality.

For me, performance is about forgetting what I'm wearing. Just putting it on and knowing it's right.

I have a lot of regrets, but I'm not going to think of them as regrets.
