Love's like a junkie, addiction's a fact. Passion's a monkey, you can't keep off your back.

I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue.

A great editor is the most valuable thing you can have as an artist because, as you said, sometimes you get too close to something. I think, apart from your talent, that's why you have the career you have - because you have great people behind you.

Onstage, it was always comfortable for me, because that's where I felt at home. Offstage, it was a different situation. I was still shy offstage.

When I say I don't have to write pop songs anymore, there's no way I'm going to get on the radio at 60 years of age unless I'm doing a duet with [Lady] Gaga or I was on All of the Lights, which was a Kanye West record that managed to get on the radio.

I just think you shouldn't expect people to pay money to see someone sing live and then lip-synch.

And it's one more beer and I don't hear you any more.
