Funny, now I can see, how looks can be deceiving.

Living a very long time would be a very scary thing.

We're all just animals. That's all we are, and everything else is just an elaborate justification of our instincts. That's where music comes from. And romantic poetry. And bad novels.

Sometimes I write notes that I have difficulty singing.

I've worked hard, every single day since I left school. I think I have a Protestant work ethic.

These are the sort of things that push you on in music - the curiosity, a passion for new ideas.

When you work with new people, I think that it throws all of the matters into relief, because you have to explain yourself every time. It's like crossing a new border. They want to see your documents.
