I have never wanted to give up performing on stage, but one day the tours will be over.
I don't believe in having bands for solo records.
People don't bother to check with anything anymore. They just like to speculate in print. We like fact-checking!
Right now I can't be sure that I will be back on stage. We have been touring for two years and that is way too much.
We have recorded songs on the same day that were released years later in other albums.
Boys, as far as England was concerned, were always the hard core. And you just know the guys like it. They want to be you. Some might be attracted to you without knowing it.
The Beatles were so big that it's hard for people not alive at the time to realize just how big they were.
Have I turned into a motorized preacher? We spend so much time in cars that if you don't try to get some experiences out of it, you can go crazy.
Goddess was made in my home in France. The material retained an integrity whit it would have lost in Los Angeles studio.
Starting off in music, the purpose of it was not to become like well known on the street and be famous. You know, I didn't even think about that part of being famous. Famous for making records, yes, but famous face in a woman's magazine, I never thought of that. I didn't want that.
I didn't really like being at college. It wasn't like it was Oxford and had been the most wonderful time of my life. It was really a dull, boring course I was stuck on.
I wasn't understanding enough about drug addition. No one seemed to know much about drug addiction. Things like LSD were all new. No one knew the harm. People thought cocaine was good for you.
It's nice to collect stamps, but if it becomes obsessive, and you start stealing for your stamps, it becomes too much.
I don't think people care about the mechanics of songwriting.
Either we stay at home and become pillars of the community or we go out and tour. We couldn't really find any communities that still needed pillars.
You have to realize that everyone in a band is all more or less together, and everyone has their own niche, and some people lead in some ways, and some people lead in others.
Movies in this country, its very complicated, and we could bang on about it forever, but the French movie industry is very different because its very obviously French.
Many Americans have no idea of what has been the foreign policy of their country. If you don't know about something, you can't understand what is going on.
When you start a new project, no matter if it's a movie like Enigma or an album like Goddess, you are always learning something. While I search, I find something new.
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.
Patriotism is an instant reaction that fades away when the war starts.
Taking drugs on a recreation level is one thing. But taking them while you're working on a stage is, I don't think it was that great. It's the control factor. And the thing about being on stage, you really want to feel that you're sort of in control a lot. It's not a place where you want to be out of control.
I don't think there's anything wrong with having sex, you know. At any age.
I don't believe in original melodies. There are only so many computations of eight notes.
Country music... doesn't bend notes in the same way, so I suppose it's very English, really. Even though it's been very Americanized, it feels very close to me, to my roots, so to speak.
