I did my first interview in 1995 and was asked about my private life. I said, 'Why would I tell you? I don't see the logic in anyone knowing that about me. For whose sake? Nobody wins.'

I do interviews because it's a chance to be myself. I sometimes wonder what I could have to say that would be of any interest. I don't have any great wisdom.

That's quite a difficult thing in life, to be who you are. And when you are doing interviews, you kind of feel this need to say something interesting.

I sometimes find that in interviews you learn more about yourself than the person learned about you.

When somebody wants to interview me, I've always got something to say.

I've never gone into an interview in my life and said that we can't talk about something.

Interviews don't go to the core of my life. Everybody knows my life - it's an open book.

When you do interviews, you have to talk about yourself - and I like to find out about other people. I am so familiar with everything that I do. I've said it over and over again. I think it is boring.

You're not going to say anything about me that I'm not going to say about myself. There's so many things that I think about myself; if someone really wanted to get at me, they could say this and this and this. So I'm going to say it before they can. It's the best policy for me.

The question isn't, 'What do we want to know about people?', It's, 'What do people want to tell about themselves?'
