I'm obsessed with choirs, and always have been, because of that sense of overwhelming vocals.

Hands up if you’re ready to do something you’ll regret this weekend. Go forth! You have my blessing.

I think I should get a bigger between-the-song persona, so then I'm not wandering around the stage like some mad old auntie that's saying hello to people and falling over.

When I'm singing I'm always trying to get to the highest point possible. I'd fly to the top of Buckingham Palace to sing to the queen.

I like a house party and fancy dress, a big fan of fancy dress, like dress up, costume parties.

I try to maintain a healthy dose of daydreaming, to remain sane.

Having a soul, they say, is like taking sadness and turning it into something beautiful.

If you do something with your whole heart and it's a mistake, you can live with that.

I like the idea of not being afraid of letting your imagination rule you, to feel the freedom of expression, to let creativity be your overwhelming drive rather than other things.

Sometimes I find that music is so much more attractive than love. I don’t know… It’s like some kind of euphoria, that love can’t bring to you.

You should have high expectations for yourself and others should come second.

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.

That old feeling is still in my leaking heart.

I'm probably projecting. I'm a projector. For example: The world is not terrible. I just keep thinking it is.

We have to get out of here, Bram. Before they take our bollocks and use them for pincushions.

It is a wise child that knows its own father and an unusual one that unreservedly approves of him.

I love California. I love Hollywood.

Hollywood has a way of making everything seem like an overnight success.

I think of myself in the oral tradition-as a troubadour, a village tale-teller, the man in the shadows of the campfire. That's the way I'd like to be remembered- as a storyteller. A good storyteller.

If you make a difference, people will gravitate to you. They want to engage, to interact and to get you more involved.

The good opinion of mankind, like the lever of Archimedes, with the given fulcrum, moves the world.
