It's what's on the record not what labels on it. You know, that's like getting a box of cornflakes and eating the cardboard.

I knew I was in trouble, but I thought I was in hell.

Don't try to touch my heart, it's darker than you think. And don't try to read my mind, because it's full of disappearing ink.

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

I've never felt British. I'm just not interested in national identity. I don't know why.

I don't think I was ever particularly mean. I can certainly think of some idiotic exchanges I've had. I was accused of destroying pop music, like Wagner destroyed opera - a guy in Germany started ranting that at me.

The way you look I understand how you were not impressed, but I heard you let that little friend of mine take off your party dress.
