I've never been a particular fan of any genre.

All artists are crazy.

I don't think people are fans of me because I wrote hit songs. I think they're fans because I'm a lunatic or a weirdo. The hit songs came out of my idiosyncratic personality, not the other way around.

I've never been able to understand where great artists come from.

I knew that the artists that I loved the most had something about them that was very unfiltered and very rough.

One ends up relying on pure musical inspiration, and failing that, the music won't lead to anything good, or it will alienate all but the most die-hard fans.

I kind of have the most amazing fans ever. They are the most committed, passionate people, and I love them so much.

When I first started all this, it was mostly music fans that came along, Stones fans. But now, I'm being taken seriously. I've got highfalutin' art collectors and everything!
