 I can't fly a flag for monogamy or whatever the opposite is; it depends on the person and on the situation. |
| Like Yoga, the spiritual life is actually very difficult. |
| That sense of failure, I don't know where people put it who don't write songs and aren't able to emote physically. It must go somewhere. |
| Love is stronger than justice. |
| I've spent a bit of time with the Prince of Wales, who I respect greatly. I'd give two cheers for the Monarchy. |
| It has very little to do with my work, but if your image is not sexy enough, people won't listen. It's part of the game. |
| I have been through various fitness regimes. I used to run about five miles a day and I did aerobics for a while. |
| There's no religion but sex and music. |
| I'm not much of a family man. I'm just not that into it. I love kids, I adore them, but I don't want to live my life for them. |
| If you make your living writing, and you can't write anything, it's over. It's very frightening. |
| When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around. |
| I feel this music has nurtured me as I've been immersing myself in it. I've felt supported by it. |
| I have a big problem with piped music. I like either silence or to listen to it properly. |
| I miss England. I miss the weather. I've spent moss of the last 25 years on tour. I'm ready to come home. |
| Melancholy is no bad thing. |
| An uncle of mine emigrated to Canada and couldn't take his guitar with him. When I found it in the attic, I'd found a friend for life. |
| I want to get old gracefully. I want to have good posture, I want to be healthy and be an example to my children. |
| I've never lost perspective on who I am. Well, maybe briefly, but generally I'm pretty balanced. |
| I see music as one language. If one musical form eats its own tail, it dies. So it needs to be a mongrel, it needs to be hybridised. |
| I really wanted to work with David Lynch. I was a big fan of The Elephant Man and Eraserhead. |
