I think marriage is a good thing for children, because it gives them a feeling of security.

When I write and produce something, I know exactly how I want it to sound, and I have a very strong interpretation of it. I can't really think of anyone at the moment I'd particularly like to play a duet with. You never know, though, I might receive an offer tomorrow and say, "Yeah, that'd be great." But it's not something that's on my mind.

Basically I see that song as a bunch of images which I threw together to represent the fact that I was seeing one girl and then I started seeing another, and it was just the guilt in between those two periods. The ballads I've written since have been about things that really hurt me.

I mean, it is the perfect situation to really love someone to death and to want to rip their clothes off at the same time, isn't it?

It does bother me when they [tabloids] drag friends of mine into it and talk about them and lie about them. My friends have no part in it; they're not celebrities, so why should they have to accept the downside of celebrity? That worries me for a bit.

Teacher, there are things that I don't want to learn.

I've done too many stupid things for there not to be movies made about me when I'm dead, so I might as well write the script.
