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

Of course I have regrets; I'm not stupid.

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

I have to watch out for being lazy.

Well, I really didn't enjoy some of the movies I did when I was young.

I get all dressed up with that Marianne Faithfull face, and the next thing I know, I'm blurting out things that I shouldn't, trying to get attention when, really, I've got everybody's attention already.

I've got a lot of little compulsive problems, and I've thought about it a lot. And one of the things I ask myself is, 'What are the things I can do that won't hurt me and will help me?' The first answer is work.
