I get an audience personally involved in a song - because I'm involved myself. It's not something I do deliberately: I can't help myself. If the song is a lament at the loss of love, I get an ache in my gut. I feel the loss myself and I cry out the loneliness, the hurt and the pain that I feel.

All day long, they lie in the sun, and when the sun goes down, they lie some more.

You only live once, and the way I live, once is enough.

Bad reviews I've gotten never diminished the number of people in my audience; good reviews have never added to the number of people in my audience; be your own critic.

The best revenge is massive success.

The best is yet to come and won't that be fine.

Orange is the happiest color.
