All we're ever looking for is another open door.

What I've tended to do is to use my own experiences to get into someone else's mind, like in Wuthering Heights.

I'd become very involved in the production, so the albums were taking longer. So it was never a deliberate decision not to do live shows. A few times, I've thought about doing them again, but it's just kind of never happened. I've just sort of gone the path of becoming a recording artist I guess.

What made it special made it dangerous, so I bury it... and forget.

If ever there's been somebody to hold as an icon of sheer determination and willpower, it's that guy [Stephen Hawking ], let alone any of the things he's done scientifically. I'm sure that's his driving force, but he's a miracle and an aspiration.

As the people grow colder, I turn to my computer and spend my evenings with it like a friend.

I will say it is great to have a woman in charge of the country.
