The voice of God, if you must know, is Aretha Franklin's.

I love the Stones, but I've gone to a lot of gigs.

I haven't got purity, and I don't think I ever did. I have always been, even as a child, a very decadent little person.

I think drugs were used by me as a way of suppressing my natural spirit.

If I let myself sink into depression, I won't be able to get out. And then I'll be awfully unhappy. I just have to turn my face to the light and walk on. And trust that things will be all right.

To be diagnosed with cancer was a frightening thing, and my first reaction was sheer panic, but I was really fortunate that the cancer was caught at such an early stage that I didn't need chemo or radiotherapy. But I know that cancer is a chronic condition, and once you've had it, you're on the list, because it can come back.

I don't see decadence really as what you do, because I don't do much at all that is decadent in my life. But I still am decadent. It's a state of mind, I think.
