We've survived by believing our life is going to get better.

We got on American Bandstand, where kids would dance to a record and then rate it. We called ourselves Tom and Jerry. I was Jerry.

I don't feel any pressure from fans. But I'm always in some kind of state of emotional turmoil. I would not describe myself as happy-go-lucky. That's not to say that I'm not happy.

I rate each album as better than the last one. That's how I see it.

My life so common it disappears and sometimes even music cannot substitute for tears.

My whole artistic life has always been about change, change, change, move on, move on. It's the only thing I find interesting.

The only time that love is an easy game is when two other people are playing it.
