And you, You can be mean And I, I'll drink all the time 'Cause we're lovers, And that is a fact Yes we're lovers, And that is that

I'll paint you moments of gold, I'll spin you Valentine evenings.

And it's always the same kind of artist, I think, who has more enjoyment being slightly on the outside of things, who doesn't want to be sucked into the tyranny of the mainstream. Because once you get sucked into that, you're dead as an artist.

I'm wary of the word glam because I think that became the all-inclusive term with for any bloke with lipstick on, which is fine, you know, and that's what it is when it comes down to the public level.

It's true - I am a bisexual. But I can't deny that I've used that fact very well. I suppose it's the best thing that ever happened to me.

I am a moderately good singer. I am not a great singer but I can interpret a song, which I don't think is quite the same as singing it.

I guess, - a greater number of the 26 or so albums that I've made are known in Europe than they are in America.

I'm in awe of the universe, but I don't necessarily believe there's an intelligence or agent behind it.
