I have one pug and one Czechoslovakian dog called Prazsky krysarik.

My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones.

There was a time when the music fell silent. Both within me and around me.

There is a danger of changing too much in the search for perfection.

I'm a country bumpkin. I'm not a showgirl.

I can spot empty flattery and know exactly where I stand. In the end it's really only my own approval or disapproval that means anything.

The press has always written that I am a recluse and a mysterious woman, but I am more down-to-earth than they think.

I just want to live in peace and quiet.

When I record, it feels like I'm in a bubble. There's nothing else in my head right then. It's just that song, and I'm trying to really sound like what the song is about.

It's strange that the newspapers don't see a connection between their false revelations about my private life and my need for seclusion and security.

No one who has experienced facing a screaming, boiling, hysterical audience can avoid feeling shivers in the spine. It's a thin line between celebration and menace.

Living is Easy with Eyes Closed.

Intuition is truth.

The reason that everyone has their own problem is everyone sees something in different side.

A man ought to be able to live on a scale commensurate with the service that he renders.

When people campaign for positions, they promise people all kinds of things.

My soul is not a palace of the past.

In its current form, globalization cannot be sustained. Democratic societies will not support it. Authoritarian leaders will fear to impose it.

I discovered you can get closer to a characters thoughts and feelings in a book than in a film.

Truth has nothing to do with the number of people it convinces.

I like being the one who makes a difference. On the pitch, I always try to create a special situation.
