My style of playing is more enthusiasm and instinct than skill.

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.

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

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.

Fatalism is a lazy man's way of accepting the inevitable.

I think first of all, the United States has got to adopt a policy of befriending and creating allies around the world.

Normally I sleep for 9, 10 hours a night.

I went onto reality TV as a business decision.

Once you have selected a sport or a creative activity, the rules are pretty much the same.

The hardest thing in the world to play is something close to myself.

In the end, your integrity is all you've got.

The ability to defend yourself is a basic necessity like food and water. We exempt food and water from the sales tax.

The secret to perseverance is a simple one: have a bigger commitment to getting the job done than to attempting to control your inner feelings and sensations.

[Self-defense is] justly called the primary law of nature, so it is not, neither can it be in fact, taken away by the laws of society.
