I thought I wanted to go to drama school or university, and that would have been a completely different life. But what got me was the sound, and hearing it. Hearing everything so loud, I loved that back in the studio. I loved that from the very beginning.

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

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

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

I have to watch out for being lazy.

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.

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