I went to the big Picasso retrospective at the Tate in the sixties, and I think I went to an Andy Warhol retrospective at the Tate in the sixties, too. My mother was very good at taking me to things like that. We lived in Reading, but we went on these cultural trips to London.

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

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.

Never apologize, never explain - didn't we always say that? Well, I haven't and I don't.

The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.

The way I choose to show my feelings is through my songs.

Penitentiary songs have been a love of mine for years. They are so wonderful.
