I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier.

I've never regretted not having children. My mindset in that regard has been constant. I objected to being born, and I refuse to impose life on someone else.

I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?

I am very self-conscious a lot of the time.

I don't find the technology threatening. A lot of people my age, my generation, find it difficult to immerse themselves. But I would never preclude the idea of using any technology if I thought it suited the end result.

I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it.

I've discovered special makeup by a company called M.A.C. You could wear it on the surface of the sun and it wouldn't move.
