I would rather eat my own testicles than reform The Smiths, and that's saying something for a vegetarian.

I don't mind if you forget me. Having learned my lesson, I never left an impression on anyone.

Nobody can possibly be so hungry that they need to take a life in order to feel satisfied - they don't after all, take a human life, so why take the life of an animal? Both are conscious beings with the same determination to survive. It is habit, and laziness and nothing else.

If you travel to Germany, it's still absolutely Germany. If you travel to Sweden, it still has a Swedish identity.

Age shouldn't affect you. It's just like the size of your shoes - they don't determine how you live your life! You're either marvellous or you're boring, regardless of your age.

I always seem to be singing against the grain.

You have to, at least from a distance, look as if you know what you're doing, and I can manage that.
