I don't trust politicians. I think that by the time they've made it, with the concessions they've had to make in that position, I don't believe they still have the beliefs they had at the root.

I'd had my time in the charts and made loads of money. I was no longer hungry for success.

I'm a person who tries not to have regrets.

I had my 15 minutes of being the new boy of pop, like lots of people before and after me. Overnight, everyone starts treating you differently, and perceives you differently.

I do have a thing for eating out; that's one of life's great middle-age pleasures.

I just want to read and ignore all my adult problems.

Who picks your clothes - Stevie Wonder?

I could spend my life arriving each evening in a new city.

I like the assumption that everyone is trying his best, and we should all just be kind to each other.

For a few minutes, everything is so cute that the mind reels.... And then, believe it or not, things get worse. So I shot myself.

First we build people, then we build cars.

I've always been fascinated by maps and cartography. A map tells you where you've been, where you are, and where you're going -- in a sense it's three tenses in one.

Tell him he's wrong. Tell him that even if he's right about waiting, he's right for the wrong reasons, and that makes him all the way wrong.
