Sometimes when I’m flying over the Alps I think, 'that’s like all the cocaine I sniffed.'

What we should be doing as musicians is trying to bring people together.

People in England are so bloody nosy.

Simon Cowell and I are great friends and we wind each other up. Rod Stewart and I do the same thing.

I've been coming to America since 1970, and it's like my second home, but I've never felt such a divided country, ever. I didn't think it would get to this point, and it breaks my heart.

I wasn't involved in anything. I wasn't out - you know, I know I wasn't in ACT UP. I wasn't with Larry Kramer. I wasn't by his side. I wasn't saying what I should do, because, by all accounts, I was a drug addict and an alcoholic. And I was living in a complete bubble of self-absorption.

I don't want to spend the rest of my life talking about when I used to drink or when I used to take drugs. I'm more interested in the future.
