The voice of God, if you must know, is Aretha Franklin’s.
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 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.
