Maybe the most that you can expect from a relationship that goes bad is to come out of it with a few good songs.

Bad behaviour makes men more glamorous. Women get destroyed, thrown out of society and locked up in institutions.

The first opera I went to see was Maria Callas singing 'Tosca'.

I want to do movies, but I want to do something that's good. I don't want to make any more films until I feel that I'm ready for it. I want to have good work, and a very elegant life. I believe you get what you want.

I know for a fact that Heaven and Hell are here on Earth.

The equipment you've got really dictates what you're going to do. When I started touring, there were no monitors, so I had to take the sound from the hall, and of course it was on a delay, so I would sing, and then I would hear it back, but later. It was very weird.

The really explicit phrase is doors of perception.
