Anarchy is the only slight glimmer of hope.
The Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has just published the story of her life. I confess that it is not in my reading table.
My secrets must be poetic to be believable.
Thank you for leaving us alone but giving us enough attention to boost our egos.
My mother has always been unhappy with what I do. She would rather I do something nicer, like be a bricklayer.
I don't really count myself as a very sophisticated businessperson. I'm a creative artist. All I know from business I've picked up along the way.
People get very thoughtful when they are in cars. I no longer care for cars. I don't collect them.
I believe we should encourage children to sing and play instruments from an early age.
The elusive nature of love... it can be such a fleeting thing. You see it there and it's just fluttering and it's gone.
A lot of times songs are very much of a moment, that you just encapsulate. They come to you, you write them, you feel good that day, or bad that day.

Patriotism is an instant reaction that fades away when the war starts.

I am not a librarian of my own work. It's a good thing not to be too involved with what you have done.
People love talking about when they were young and heard Honky Tonk Women for the first time. It's quite a heavy load to carry on your shoulders, the memories of so many people.
We have a lot of secondary market problems in the U.K.; it's really bad there. And lots of artists are starting to participate in it, because they put the tickets up at a certain price, then the tickets get marked up by the secondary sellers, and someone else gets twice as much as you.
I got nasty habits; I take tea at three.
People have this obsession. They want you to be like you were in 1969. They want you to, because otherwise their youth goes with you. It's very selfish, but it's understandable.
Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
