You don't have to be some sort of freak to meditate

Before Elvis there was nothing.

It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man.

The thing is, in America, it just seemed ridiculous - I mean, the idea of having a hit record over there, ... It was just something you could never do.

When I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind.

Everything I've ever done is out. I don't have boxes of unreleased stuff. There's nothing in the files. I can never keep anything unless I don't like the sound of it or it didn't work. If I can sing it to an engineer, I can sing it to anyone.

I don't mind looking to the camera -​ it's people that throw me.
