We tend to think of age only in time, but I don't think it has much to do with time at all there's a whole load of other things. I've met 16-year-olds who are old and 90-year-olds who are young.

There is certainly more in the future now than back in 1964.

I'm realistic about my age and realistic about the fact that there's an awful lot less in front of me than there is behind me. I've always felt that music is an art form that deserves to live the life of the artist.

You can do too much and oversell your market.

My feeling was that I simply didn't have the enthusiasm to do reinvention.

I've never wanted to be anyone other than who I am.

I love Adele. That's a lead singer; that's the real deal.
