If you do something with your whole heart and it's a mistake, you can live with that.

Hands up if you’re ready to do something you’ll regret this weekend. Go forth! You have my blessing.

I think I should get a bigger between-the-song persona, so then I'm not wandering around the stage like some mad old auntie that's saying hello to people and falling over.

When I'm singing I'm always trying to get to the highest point possible. I'd fly to the top of Buckingham Palace to sing to the queen.

I like a house party and fancy dress, a big fan of fancy dress, like dress up, costume parties.

I try to maintain a healthy dose of daydreaming, to remain sane.

Having a soul, they say, is like taking sadness and turning it into something beautiful.

I like the idea of not being afraid of letting your imagination rule you, to feel the freedom of expression, to let creativity be your overwhelming drive rather than other things.

Sometimes I find that music is so much more attractive than love. I don’t know… It’s like some kind of euphoria, that love can’t bring to you.

You should have high expectations for yourself and others should come second.

For me, ‘Dog Days’ symbolizes apocalyptic euphoria, chaotic freedom and running really, really fast with your eyes closed.

All dust is the same dust. Temporarily separated To go peacefully And enjoy the eternal nap.

Most Italians who came to this country are very patriotic. There was this exciting possibility that if you worked real hard, and you loved something, you could become successful.

I do not think that I am a person who cannot be trusted.

To fight in another man's armour is something more than to be influenced by his style of fighting.

Forgiveness is essential as the ultimate detox

What has benefited me the most is learning I can't control what happens outside of my pitching.

When you identify yourself with a group of people or a set of ideas, aren't you separating yourself?

Every life has its years in which one progresses as on a tedious and dusty street of poplars, without caring to know where he is.

I never suspected that we or any one person or program can create Serena Williams or John McEnroe or Pete Sampras.

Can you let me go to hell the way I want to?
