I went through a long period where I was afraid of doing things I wanted to do, and you get your courage back, which is what's important.

Even though it's become a really cliched thing to see musicians working for charity, it's still effective and it still has to be done.

I would advise any gay person that being out in the real sense can never happen too soon.

I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.

I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.

I'm the luckiest writer on earth.

I've been very well remunerated for my talents over the years so I really don't need the public's money.

My ego is sated.

I have got other interests than just making music. I would like to follow those interests through.

I'm not a novelty act from the '80s in most parts of the world.
