Fame makes me feel wanted and loved, anybody wants that.

The English press, are so nosy, and the English seem to love that eavesdropping

There is an integrity to INXS, in the music, that makes it worthwhile.

It's just as difficult to live in a self-made hell of privacy as it is to live in a self-made hell of publicity.

I get pretty terrified, to be honest, when I'm on tour. You really have to muster a lot of ego to go our there, which I find rather draining.

My two fingers on a typewriter have never connected with my brain. My hand on a pen does. A fountain pen, of course. Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane.

Greatness exists like an ocean within you. Why do you want to act like a fish out of water, wriggling on the sand under the scorching sun? Look! The water is just one millimeter away! Jump in!

I'm a rock star because I couldn't be a soccer star.

Greatest scandal waits on greatest state.
