I believe in the moment of things and fate and things happening for a reason, so I write things down and I trust it.

The only really safe thing to do is to write a diary of where you've been, what time you went to bed, what you ate. If I wrote honestly about everything I think it'd be a disaster. It would cause a lot of trouble.

I wrote a lot of poetry that was based on stories of the sea and I was really inspired by that.

I never expected to get the Tom Jones treatment and it amazes me that I do. Strangely it's women who throw their underwear at me when I'm performing live. My male fans tend to be quite shy. My female fans are wild. I never know what to do with all the lingerie that lands at my feet. Maybe I should open a shop.

Even if a relationship doesn't work out, you can always take something positive from something negative. You never know what's around the corner.

I can fall in love in a simple way, but I can dissect it in such an intense fashion when it ends.

Fame doesn't make it hard to date, because I could be seeing someone now and no-one would know. But if you go out with someone who's in the public eye you're asking for trouble. It's double intensity, double scrutiny. Even if I just went on one date with a normal guy, word gets around and that freaks me out. I don't like all that gossipy stuff.
