It's so tedious that everyone must be defined.
Whoever says the Smiths have split shall be severely spanked by me with a wet plimsoll.
I'm fascinated by people in their eighties and nineties. Especially those who are still creating and living in an interesting way. I am fascinated by them because they have so much to say now that they've lived for so long.
Well, I am an extremely beautiful person.
He drove me home in the van, complaining, 'Women only like me for my mind'.
When you sleep I will creep Into your thoughts Like a bad debt That you can't pay Take the easy way and give in!
Madonna reinforces everything absurd and offensive. Desperate womanhood. Madonna is closer to organized prostitution than anything else.
Congratulations to Prince Charles for banning foie gras from all his functions.
With the world's fate resting on your shoulder - you're gonna need someone on your side. You can't do it by yourself any longer - you're gonna need someone on your side.
Even I, as sick as I am, I would never be you. Even I, sick and depraved, a traveler to the grave, I would never be you.
I never imagined I'd be a solo artist. And now I couldn't imagine being part of a group.
I think perhaps I touch on a different passion in people. It’s not simple the passion of rock ‘n’ roll rebellion - it’s more romantic than sexual.
Eating meat is the most disgusting thing I can think of. It's like biting into your grandmother.
I first bought a Buffy Sainte-Marie record when I was 12, and her music has always remained with me. In the 1960s, as a political activist, Buffy's lyrics were fearless, and I'm very grateful for all the risks that she took.
You say: 'Oh, please forgive' You say: 'Oh, live and let live.' But sorry doesn't help us. Sorry will not save us. Sorry is just a word you find so easy to say (so you say it anyway). Sorry doesn't help us. Sorry won't protect us. Sorry won't undo all the good gone wrong.
I am still my teenage self. If you think that we all step through a door marked Adult, or that we sign a Grown-Up Document, you’re quite wrong. We remain as we always were, and that, alas, is one of life’s many nasty tricks.
It could be construed that the reason I wouldn't wish to live in England is the immigration explosion. And that's not true at all.
My family, although they're very large on both my parents' sides, they don't know much about their family tree. Occasionally, they try to dig, but they can't get very far, and it's baffling. In Dublin, it seems that so many public records were wiped out; it's proven to be very difficult, so I know very little.
Singers attract fans with aspects of their own personality. People feel I'm passionate and obsessive. They know this isn't a profession for me, it's a vocation. It's not an egotistical thing, but something else. I'm in a dialogue with my audience, and that's something I need
I don't like myself very much as a person, but I'm proud of what I create.
I don't want to go on much longer, really. I think that would suggest a lack of imagination. A certain lack of dignity also.
I have no love for myself as a human being, but I have immense pride in the music I make.
I didn't really see the British punk movement, if that's what it was, as wildly original, because I had been listening so intently to all the New York music since 1973, really.
It doesn't stop. It really doesn't stop. It's the way I live every single day. I don't do anything else. I have no other interest other than music. At all.
All of us, ultimately, we're not that interesting, when it comes down to it.
