I embrace the idea that I'm an entertainer.

Love is the thing that you pursue because it's the thing that gives you all this life, or you believe that, anyway.

If SANTA CLAUS came down the chimney in a f**king jogging suit, you wouldn't even know it was him.

Being around people who are happy and people who are creative, that's what you do if you're lucky in your life.

Music has the power to transcend your physical being and take you up. Because music has a metaphysical quality it really makes your life beautiful.

Advertising agencies come to you and they are great fans, they are great creative people themselves, but they ask you to do something, and you say, "Well, we will, we'll create something together." And it is work. It's like you're doing something and they're saying, "Change this" and "Change that." It's not hard, horrible work, but creatively it's not just freedom.

I stopped caring so much about what people might think if I sung about love and humanity.
