I love Simon Cowell, he's a dear friend.

I never did acid, I am just so high anyway.

The nicest thing about coming of age is that I can do whatever I like.

Well it has been very exciting and very changing as well. Celebrating the 40th year and having the album out and the Channel 4 documentary and I resigned from Blind Date.

I did smoke a joint once but I did not enjoy it.

Work is a four-letter word.

I humbly apologise for reality Television.

I didn't think before that I'd done enough to justify publishing an autobiography but after 40 years in show business I'm now ready to tell my story.

I had to do the book because there was an unauthorised biography which didn't tell it like it was.

The world is not beautiful: And that, in a way, lends it a sort of beauty.

One hour's sleep before midnight is worth three after.

I had drawings that were the first time that mathematics was put into visual form.

As of late, I am more of a homebody. I like having people over. You can smoke in the apartment. I'm just not into going out so much. The crowd is getting younger and younger.

The best advice I've been given is kind of the "dance with the one who brought you" thing. You got here on what you do so don't change that.

Government is an unnecessary evil.

I was allowed to have an imagination rather than a need to be entertained all the time by television or computers or anything like that. So, I think it's helpful to try and give your kids.

The only person with whom you have to compare ourselves, is that you in the past. And the only per-son better you should be, this is who you are now.
