If I had five minutes to live, I don't think I'd be bothered singing a song. I'd be dead, so it won't really matter. I'd have a glass of wine and a cigarette.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I hadn't had music in my life, it's quite possible I'd be dead and I'd much rather be alive.
I'd rather be dead than singing 'Satisfaction' when I'm forty-five.
I try to imagine how we would live if we didn't know we were going to die. Would we live our lives differently? Less careful, maybe? Less scared? These are beautiful things to think about and build a song around.
I'd stop in the middle of a gun fight and sing a song.
Anyway, I'd get bored with just doing music!
I don't know if I'd ever sing a whole album because I don't know if I'd want to hear my voice for more than three or four songs.
Playing on the streets of Iraq, or in Israel or the Gaza strip, I'd sing angry protest songs against war. People would say, 'Make us clap, make us dance, and laugh and sing.' It really made me think about the importance of happy music.
I'll sing as long as people want to hear me, and I'll be able to sing as long as I'm alive.
Music is my breath, blood and food - without music I would perish; the actor in me would die.
If I had a free afternoon, I would play music, sit in my backyard, and drink coffee.
