The fun of working on the road means stealing from hotels. I've been doing it for so long, I have a set of towels from the Ark.

I know now that everybody in the arts is forever a beginner. Experience counts for a great deal and very little. Every night onstage I feel I am starting from scratch, still not quite sure what I am doing and where I am going, thrown by the simplest thing that goes wrong.

I wear the midi because I feel if you're going to look ugly, you may as well look this year's ugly.

I have no sex appeal and it has screwed me up for life; my gynecologist examines me by telephone.

We all mourn in our own way. I mourn with a great steak.

What could be nicer than to have three horrible children behind you in an airplane, and the next set, you go onstage and you talk about how much you despise the children and what you would like to do to them on an airplane? That's the only time I would gladly take a terrorist on. It'd be worth it to get rid of these children.

Nothing is yours permanently so you better enjoy it while it's happening.
