My worst fear is my music won't connect with the public.

My voice went recently, never happened before, off like a tap. I had to sit in silence for nine days, chalkboard around my neck. Like an old-school mime. Like a kid in the naughty corner. Like a Victorian mute.

I'm like Johnny Cash. I only wear black.

The focus on my appearance has really surprised me. I've always been a size 14 to 16, I don't care about clothes, I'd rather spend my money on cigarettes and booze.

You know for many elected officials they all started in the same place. You know marriage is between a man and a woman, but they understand that they are moving inevitably, catching up to the American public.

This thing with being lovers, it isn't like being married.

It works much like a marriage, an old marriage. You've got to work on it.

Love to me has meant different things at different junctures of my life. I'm not a hopeless romantic.
