All the cliches of glamorous sophistication have little appeal to me. Do I want to live the British version of 'Dynasty?' No thanks!

I love writing songs.

I'm uneasy with fame so I do my best to avoid places that will bring me more attention.

I've made sacrifices. I'm not anti-fashion but I've always had a bit of a punk attitude. That's important, I think. I do my own thing.

Once a song's out there, it's no longer mine. And that's the whole purpose of music: to belong to people.

What could equal the bliss? / The thrill of the first kiss / It'll blow right to you / It's never as good as the first time.

My daughter and stepson are really broad-minded.
