I feel like the sixties is about to happen. It feels like a period in the future to me, rather than a period in the past.

When you first get money, you buy all these things so no one thinks you're mean, and you spread it around. You get a chauffeur and you find yourself thrown around the back of this car and you think, I was happier when I had my own little car! I could drive myself!

My old school in Liverpool is now a performing-arts school, and I kind of teach there - I use the word lightly - but I go there and talk to students.

Alas, it looks like those unsubstantiated rumours about me are about to come true after all this time.

What I have to say is all in the music. If I want to say anything, I write a song.

I saw that Meryl Streep said, I just want to do my job well. And really, that's all I'm ever trying to do.

Putting two songs together, I've always loved that trick when it works.
