I've been in rehabs with hardcore heroin addicts who say, 'I've kicked the heroin, but I can't let go of the tobacco.' I haven't smoked a cigarette in a long time. I like being clean now.

None of us is perfect. Everyone has got a skeleton in the closet that they don't want people to find out. I just let it go, with a bit of humor.

My mother was an amateur singer, my father was an amateur drunk.

There are some singers that have great technique and then there are those that have a certain quality or style in their voice. Some have both, like Freddie Mercury, but to me, I prefer style over technique.

One thing that does confuse me, is that there are more religions in this world than ever, yet there's only sup­posed to be one God.

I tried heroin once and I didn't like it. It frightened me.

With time, people forget to say, "Darling I love you." just that word.
