Even with the recent story about the nurse killing herself in King Edward Hospital, there's no blame placed on Kate Middleton, who was in the hospital as far as I could see for absolutely no reason. She feels no shame about the death of this woman, she's saying nothing about the death of this poor woman. The arrogance of the British royals is staggering, absolutely staggering. And why it's allowed to be I really don't know... It wasn't because of two DJs in Australia that this woman took her own life, it was the pressure around her.

I've only been to Ireland once, and I felt I would wake up with voices in my head, almost like music, and that if I were a songwriter, I would be very inspired.

Because you wear a uniform, a smelly uniform...and so you think you can be rude to me.

I didn't really see the British punk movement, if that's what it was, as wildly original, because I had been listening so intently to all the New York music since 1973, really.

For the first time in my life the eternal 'I' becomes 'we', as, finally, I can get on with someone.

I've always assumed there's a dark river flowing beneath my fans' desires.

I'm tired again, I've tried again, and now my heart is full. And I just can't explain...so I won't even try to.
