And while we destroy / Our children will grow / Not missing the things they'll never know / A crime against them / Against you and me / A crime against all humanity

Real talent will get through whatever the obstacles.

My life is so full of surprises, nothing surprises me any more.

When I was 15, I was naive, looked like a grey mouse and felt second choice.

I don't take myself seriously any more. Sometimes I just garden in my knickers and platform shoes.

My parents have a wonderful marriage, for many years. But I can't commit myself for such a long time.

Performing, I can take it or leave it. Horticulture is far more challenging. I'm absolutely fascinated by it.

My father has taught me all the tricks of the boys at an early age, which has made me very careful.

Dad is my best mate and I can tell Mum absolutely anything. I really appreciate Mum and Dad. Why are we so close? Young parents, I think. The rock business keeps their minds young.

When you're together with someone for some time, you will automatically depend on them as if they were a crutch. And then it ends.

I don't mind being laughed at: that's something I really don't mind, and I think that's kept me sane. My ability to laugh at myself and allow others to laugh at me has been my saving grace.

Never waste any time you can spend sleeping.

It is hard to love yourself if you never spend time with yourself. 'Alone Time' is Necessary

Sometimes you forget how much you love someone, until you realize their smile is like a spotlight shined on your heart.

To me, jazz is the closest thing to insanity that there is in music.

Perfection seems sterile; It is final, no mystery in it; It's a product of an assembly line.

What gods do you pray to?

It's a real wrenching thing to go from being a private person to being a public person, especially when you're being autobiographical.

The living can assist the imagination of the dead.
