I'm sensitive and get easily upset and insulted.

I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist.

I guess I felt straight when I was allowed to get married. Now I feel queerer because I'm not. It's the only thing that's changed. I wouldn't measure it in icon status or how much my demographic has changed, but in the rage I feel, and being not equal.

I don't really even go out that much now except to walk my dogs, because I don't want to be recognised.

I'm a fan of the Strokes, so my big fantasy was that one day I would get to sing with them.

I toured for 13 years, and it was very lonely, and it was hard work. I'm not afraid of hard work, especially if it's for stuff that I enjoy. But I actually don't think you could name one artist who enjoys promo or touring after the first three to six months of an album cycle.

There's time limits on how long people's attention spans will work. There's six weeks in each territory that you're really famous, then you, thank god, disappear again.
