The worst thing you can do to a child, and I've seen it happen so many times, is the silver spoon.

On a street of right and wrong in every inch of sadness, rocks and tanks go hand in hand with madness.

I want a love that don't mean a thing.

I'm very relaxed. I'm very happy with my personal life.

I was just genuinely shy. I'd always been a shy kid.

I just go into the studio, look at the lyrics for the first time when I put them on the piano, and go. If I haven't got it within 40 minutes, I give up. It's never changed, the thrill has never gone, because I don't know what I'm going to get next.

Some men kneel and pray, I like women and I like wine.
