I don't believe in Elvis.

I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.

There's no such thing as sculpture or art or anything, it's just a bit of - it's just words, you know, and actually saying everything is art. We're all art, art is just a tag, like a journalists' tag, but artists believe it.

Before many black singers were still labouring under that problem of God; it was often 'God will save us'. But right through the blacks were singing directly and immediately about their pain and also about sex, which is why I like it.

I didn't come after Elvis and Dylan, I've been around always. But if I see or meet a great artist, I love 'em.

I've never voted. I've never voted yet although I could have voted for the last ten years.

Paul and I know each other on a lot of different levels that very few people know about.
