When somebody asks me a question, I try to be as straightforward about it as possible. I try not to overthink what I'm going to say in an interview.

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

Ps. I am pretty certain Beyonce doesn't need you fighting any battles on her account. Seems like she's got everything covered perfectly well on her own.

I'm 41, I'm a woman, not a kid. I have no interest in making silly pop music.

Dear Kanye West. It is YOU who is so busy disrespecting artistry. You disrespect your own remarkable talents and more importantly you disrespect the talent, hard work and tenacity of all artists when you go so rudely and savagely after such an accomplished and humble artist like BECK.

I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.

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.
