I don't write songs about a specific, elusive thing. I write about love, and everyone knows what it is like to have your heart broken.

In my hometown memories are fresh.

Music isn't for the eyes, it's for the ears

I don't make music for eyes. I make music for ears.

Be brave and fearless to know that even if you do make a wrong decision, you're making it for a good reason.

I've never had a problem with the way I look. I'd rather go for lunch with my friends than go to a gym.

I have insecurities of course, but I don't hang out with anyone who points them out to me.

Don't underestimate the things that I will do.

A drunk tongue is an honest one in my opinion.

I like having my hair and face done, but I'm not going to lose weight because someone tells me to. I make music to be a musician not to be on the cover of Playboy.

I've got some news... I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon.

I have lost my smile, but don't worry.The dandelion has it.

It is easy enough to say that poverty is no crime. No if it were men wouldn't be ashamed of it. It's a blunder though and is punished as such.

I realized that I was really tired of people popping on and off of my property like it was a train station on the supernatural railroad.

The old watch the young with anguish, pain, fear. Above all what each has learned is what things cost, what has to be paid.

Who questions much, shall learn much, and retain much.

The people that really pass judgment on you really have nothing to do with what you do, usually.

While your life is the true expression of your faith, whom can you fear?

Like Marxism, Thatcherism is, in fact, riddled with contradictions. Mrs. Thatcher, on the other hand, is free of doubt; she is the label on the can of worms.

When I was in college, I had a jazz radio show. I called it 'Excursion on a Wobbly Rail,' after a Cecil Taylor song. I used to run around the Village following Ornette Coleman wherever he played.

Now my charms are all o'erthrown.
