I don't have joy in watching myself, whereas, actually, I quite like listening to my own music.

The truth is my love life has been a lot more turbulent than I have let on.

You can't imagine what it's like playing to people who have been loyal to you for 25 years and haven't seen you for 15.

It's only when the kids are in their late twenties that families really face up to what they are.

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

If someone really wants to hurt you, they'll find a way whatever. I don't want to live my life worrying about it.

I watch people who are not driven by creativity any more, and I think how dull it must be to produce the same kind of thing. If you don't feel you're reaching something new, then don't do it.

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

The fact I had my father as an adversary was such a powerful tool to work with. I subconsciously fought him to the degree that I drove me to be one of the most successful musician in the world.

I still believe that music is one of the greatest gifts that God gave to man.
