Oscar Wilde turned the world upside down and was able to laugh at it, and hopefully by the time I'm 120 and worn out, that's what I will achieve. I love being alive so much.

I'm aware of my songs. I'm aware of them because they're about true emotions, true feelings, things that matter.

I don't understand the art of compromise, and it's a shame the politicians don't understand that as well, you know, we might have a better, clearer world. But then saying that, we might also get a lot of Donald Trump's running left right and centre.

For a gun-toting nation, Americans are surprisingly passive.

If I'm left to my own devices, I will be tempted to make the most unlistenable music possible.

Don't accept the old order. Get rid of it.

I love pop music. It's not easy to write a good pop song. It may be easier to put out a fake jazz album, as Sting does from time to time.
