The only thing I have no control over is the politics that goes on within the record company. It's always been the same, but it's far tougher now, because record companies are run by financial people; before, they were run by creative people.

It's the one thing we can all relate to no matter what religion, what color, what nationality: we can all relate to sex and love.

I wouldn't change anything. I've made mistakes, but thanks to those mistakes, I've learned.

I was happier before, when I lead a normal life.

I'm not against marriage, but I think it is not as important to me as it is for other people, for example. I think getting married would not change the way I feel about my girlfriend... And I don't know if that would make me happier.

Love is one of my main inspirations.

My inspiration are the woman, friendship, and loneliness.
