Philosophy changes day by day.

I don't want to see pictures of Hollywood stars in their dressing gowns taking out the rubbish. It ruins the fantasy.

I've always been involved with all aspects of my careers. Being behind the camera seems as natural as in front.

I am not a composer of music; I sing pieces which have been written for me which gives me bigger freedom to search for pieces I want to record.

I actually want to go up into space.

Life is too complex to compress into soundbites. Every situation is different.

When I sing, I close my eyes. If I see a feather, everything is fine. Without this image in my mind, the sound is not 'truthful' enough and I must begin again. I have to.
