The Fascinating Thing About Human Beings Is That They Don't Last, And Everything Eventuates, And Everything Is Very, Very Brief. And Even If You Do Manage To Look Reasonably Well As You Age, Unfortunately You Are Attacked At Every Level By Illness And So Forth. It's A Fact Of Life.

I Am Unable To Watch The Olympics Due To The Blustering Jingoism That Drenches The Event. Has England Ever Been Quite So Foul With Patriotism? The 'dazzling Royals' Have, Quite Naturally, Hi-jacked The Olympics For Their Own Empirical Needs, And No Oppositional Voice Is Allowed In The Free Press.

Doing Nothing Gives Me Great Pleasure. And Believe Me, I Succeed Wonderfully In It.

This Position I've Held ... It Pays May Way And It Corrodes My Soul.

I Think The Pop Chart Today Is Entirely Market-driven. And It Has Nothing To Do With Public Taste. And It Has Nothing To Do With Moving Music Forward. It's Simply A Market Chart.

You Made Me Feel Less Alone; You Made Me Feel Not Quite So Deformed, Uninformed And Hunchbacked.

Pop Music Has Progressed. The Singing Voice Has Changed Dramatically In Pop Music, And People Now Just Sing The Way They Want To, In Their Speaking Voice, Instead Of Putting On Some Great Transatlantic Rock And Roll Sneer.

Well, I Think The Way You Feel As A Teenager Stays With You, Forever. I Really Believe That. And We Try To Change And We Hope That We Change, But We Don't Really In Big Ways, In Serious Ways.

And Why It's Allowed To Be I Really Don't Know... It Wasn't Because Of Two Djs In Australia That This Woman Took Her Own Life, It Was The Pressure Around Her.

Well, The Problem I've Had With All The Interviews I've Had In America - I Had Meetings With About Nine Labels - And They All Say To Me "will Your New Songs Fit In With What Is Popular And What Is In The Chart?" And I Say "good God, I Hope Not!"

Singers Attract Fans With Aspects Of Their Own Personality. People Feel I'm Passionate And Obsessive. They Know This Isn't A Profession For Me, It's A Vocation. It's Not An Egotistical Thing, But Something Else. I'm In A Dialogue With My Audience, And That's Something I Need
