I knew the words to 25 rock songs, so I got in the group. Long Tall Sally and Tutti-Frutti, that got me in. That was my audition.

I don't work at being ordinary.

I did study Shakespeare, that was sort of my thing; I got a Literature A-level, which is my only claim to academic fame.

This is the first time I've ever played the Grammys. I finally passed the audition.

For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun...

I'm mad, you know? I don't think of retiring at all.

The strange thing is, we never owned our own publishing; it was always getting bought and sold.
