I'm not a party person or someone who likes to sit and drink in clubs all night, and never really have been. I have a good time through work.

I love food, I love eating.

I love stuff like Mozart.

My idea of a good time is creating something and reading a good book.

An artist is an artist because he is not happy with the world, so he creates his own existence.

Losing people makes you realize you've got to grab life - not put things off.

I don't like lifts and will walk up 20 flights of stairs if I have to. Crowded rooms make me uncomfortable, too, although I can sing to a stadium full of thousands of people no bother.
