Confusion makes people uncomfortable. They can't put their finger on me.

(On being asked if he preferred to be a rock god or sex god) I am neither. My favourite role is father.

It's interesting to be playing a father who's on the other side because that's not my world and not where I came from.

At 10 o'clock in the morning I'd go right in the studio. It feels good to be there in the morning before the day starts to mess with you - I don't mean in a negative way, but before I'd speak to a lot of people or get into anything, I'd go in there and just see what I felt. A lot happens in the morning for me in the studio.

I'm not one of those artists who refuses to play their hits. I find that ridiculous. Hits are a blessing.
