I prefer to live in a rented house. No ties. Nothing around my neck. Just the minimum kind of bare comforts of home.

Music should elevate you. You can be raised, or left stranded. You can't be raised all the time, in my experience. This might be a rare moment. You might just go up to that level but that's always good.

Casanova, he had no money and no power, and according to some, he even was cute. But he had talent to live, and some literature talent. I love how he invented himself.

I would like to reach a balance and forget a few things.

Something that you can't play in your kitchen is rap. It is done in your neighbour's kitchen.

Rock 'n' roll and playing live is very addictive. But you have to really be careful, because you don't want to do it all the time. It's like when you are young and you think if you are not having sex you're wasting your time. But as you get older you realise everything has its place. It's the same thing with performing.... Performing is a great thing to do but you don't want to have to be doing it every night.

Only a madman or an actor would want to be President of the United States.
