I'm very fit on tour. I try to eat well, try to sleep. But it's still rock n' roll.

I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can.

I'll always be a boulevardier. I have an extreme reverence and romantic longing for all that is decrepit and fatalistic.

My parents were serious working musicians, but they were not stars - not like pop stars that you have now. They had to make a living and that meant touring, working hard, going on the road - and we were roped in.

The Germany I was enthused with was more old fashioned and kind of romantic. I just got there, and the next thing you know, I had this huge gilded album. It was kind of an amazing experience because I didn't intend it to be that way.

Somebody curse the light And take me far away from myself

After years of hotels, I'm horribly inept at cleaning up after myself.
