I refuse to step inside the ring and fight like a gladiator against my own. I'm not playing that game. Any woman who has survived a year or more of making music has my undying respect.

I plan on doing as much in my life as I possibly can.

No, I like being a role model because I know how much comfort my musical idols brought me.

I'm afraid of happy people. They're chemically unbalanced.

Humans all want to beat the clock but nobody ever does.

I have women who offer to sleep with me all the time. But not men. They're all talk and nay action - as we'd say in Scotland.

A lot of people these days are not music lovers - they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.
