I didn't sleep with anyone till I was 23.

I became successful and within five years conquered the world and had the most amazing run. I had so much momentum and adrenaline going, but then it ends and you have to find what level you're going to be on, how enthusiastic you're going to be.

I really don't need the public's money. I'd like to have something on the internet with charitable donation optional, where anyone can download my music for free.

I grew up in the Fifties and early Sixties, which were still quite conservative, and I wasn't given any information about sex or anything like that... I went out with girls at school because one had to. I didn't experiment with sex for quite a long time.

The work became like the drug addiction, the clothes, anything in my life. It became - it's become an addiction. I'm addicted to working.

This overload is edging me further out to sea, I need to put some distances between overkill and me.

Religion promotes the hatred and spite against gays. From my point of view, I would ban religion completely. Organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate.
