Everybody's a work in progress. I'm a work in progress. I mean, I've never arrived. I'm still learning all the time.

The first thing I did when I made a little bit of money as a singer was to buy myself an amber necklace. This is often the way we put together our lives, adding the striking qualities of others into our own character.

I'm not exactly an angry young person.
