There's been (if you sort of scan the magazines) announcements of different performers that has come and tried to get the British audience to go crazy, simply by them entering the stage because they had a hit record. It just doesn't happen. That happens in America.

You take everything I've made the last 16 years. I'll take my freedom.

The British people are extremely conventional. You don't always know what one is thinking or feeling because it is basically hidden. The British people basically let you see what they want you to see.

I don't want to act just to be on the screen doing anything and looking any kind of way.

As a child my grandmother used to tell us stories about the dead and the mystical.

I heard stories from my mother's mother who was an American Indian. She was spiritual, although she did not go to church, but she had the hum. She used to tell me stories of the rivers.

On the third day in India, I realized people were not suffering as much as I thought.
