My inspiration are the woman, friendship, and loneliness.

Oh, you know record companies. . . at the end of the day, it's business. If you analyse it, you're just a piece of meat. The minute you go bad, it's: 'Next!'.

I mean, if you turn on the radio, love is 90 percent of the music.

One person cannot change the world. But you can become the world for someone. A warm, bright, and peaceful world. If everyone can be such a world to one person, one will become ten people, and then a hundred. The world will be full of happy people then.

If permanent happiness comes with someone, Id leave everything.

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.

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.
