I hope there is such a thing. I guess it would be quite scary to find a soul mate when you're young because you're probably going to mess it up.

In public, I hardly ever show feelings. That's what happens when everything you do is put under a magnifying glass. But if you've spent some time hiding behind your public mask, and you're back in your own environment, then all that suppressed emotions still has to be set loose. As a result you are going to behave like a nutcase. I think thats why so many people who are famous go nuts.

When someone tells you the fundamentals you think that everything's going to come out and be amazing.

When this is over, the media will lose interest [in the relationship]. There’ll be nothing to say. It won’t fit into a headline anymore. It won’t fit into a template.

The only emotional connection of relevance is with my dog. My relationship with my dog, it's ridiculous.

I don't know much about contemporary music. I do have an iPod but I listen to a lot of old blues. I listen to John Lee Hooker and Elmore James. I have been listening to them for years. I was obsessed with Van Morrison for years. I went to see him recently where he performed Astral Weeks. I just spent the entire night crying, but I was really obsessed with Van Morrison.

What worries me the most is that I don't know when my patience will run out, when I'll finally do something really stupid. Wait and see.
