Working with David Bowie was very interesting, but I couldn't surrender to it. I should have let him produce a record for me, but I'm very perverse in some ways. He's brilliant, but the entourage were rather daunting.

France has been very good for me. It has given me a very worldly-cool attitude.

I never saw myself as beautiful. I can look back and see it now, but then? Never.

I've made a contribution to my time and my generation through being myself, not through what I shared with the Rolling Stones. It's very bad for me and very dangerous to see myself as someone who had an influence on this song or that song. It immediately puts me in the position where my worth is dependent on how much of my soul I shared with Mick Jagger, and it's just not valid. You can use the gossip you've heard. You're not getting it from me.

I have to be able to love somebody except myself and the theater.

I've done everything I want to do and gone everywhere I want to go.

I'm never, never sure which way to go. I'm full of unsureness. That's been a habit for years. I never really want to commit.
