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

I once asked my father what he wanted me to be. To my horror, he said, 'sociologist.'

I've got quite a good brain and all that, which I've never had to use in singing at all.

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

Life has changed. People have changed. They are more forgiving, less inclined to rush to judgment. And I have changed.

I think it's a great shame that America stopped being a republic and became an empire.

All I can say is I've been lucky with my body. Well done, little body. I praise it and say, 'You're very good.'
