God is a spa-bath of water and we are all individual bubbles

I'm not trying necessarily to become a movie star; that wouldn't be bad but that's not the aim. I'm just trying to do interesting things and go into areas where I've not been before.

I grew up in the day when the Beatles sold 1 million singles in a week. And all you’ve got to do now is sell about 10,000 singles and you’re in the charts.

Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.

If Miles Davis hadn't died it would have been interesting to do an album with him, but there wasn't much else that would have got me into the studio... although Herbie Hancock has just been in touch about doing something and that would be an interesting combination.

Wait for it, wait for it! Anticipation is half the fun, So I've been told...

That's going to be on my headstone: 'He came. He wrote 'In the Air Tonight.' He... died.'
