I’ve done everything I want to do and gone everywhere I want to go.
I never like photos of myself in the beginning. I live with them for three months, put them in a drawer, take them out and look again. I hate the way I look, but of course it’s really not that bad.
The way I choose to show my feelings is through my songs.
The voice of God, if you must know, is Aretha Franklin’s.
The really explicit phrase is doors of perception.
The only time I ever really consider retiring is when I get fed up with the press. Which is often.
I shoot my big mouth off; it just pops up! I have to learn to edit myself.
I am not frightened of much, but I wouldn’t like to get ill.
I do have a strong sense of God. It’s impossible to explain what I mean when I say that, of course.
I do take care of myself; I get my nails done, and I have a skin doctor, but that’s it. I’m clean and groomed.
I come from a very left wing Socialist family, anti-war and anti-empire.
I haven’t got purity, and I don’t think I ever did. I have always been, even as a child, a very decadent little person.
I have to watch out for being lazy.
I have always been attracted to the bleaker aspects of life. I love drama.
I focus on the individual and not seeing this great big monster, ‘the press.’
I don’t talk about my private life.
I do yoga. I do tai chi. I do a lot to keep my body and my spirit together so I can work.
Well, I really didn’t enjoy some of the movies I did when I was young.
Relationships have a nasty habit of reversing themselves; whatever has been done to you in a previous involvement you’ll do to the next person you’re involved with, if you get half a chance.
I think you have to really, really want to be a film star.
I don’t like the compression on compact discs. It’s lacking in air, and it’s lacking in majesty.
