I did not want to be somebody who lived off his reputation. I wanted to continue to be part of the modern music scene.

I'll be the songwriter for pop stars and then they can be the front person and I don't have to be famous.

I know I'm never going to be a big pop star, because I'm not willing to conform.

There is nothing better than playing a scene with John Cleese or Maggie Smith. It's electric. But I don't think I'm the sort of person who needs to have an outer ego in order to produce something. I realised that through the travel programmes.

The rules are: The only ego is the film, and you have to serve the film.

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.

I didn't know if I had the music for it or if I could pull off the larger concert experience. Then I realized if I can just continue to be myself, I'll be all right.

I wouldn't mind doing a soundtrack someday.
