You Can Be A Boy, A Girl,

I Don't Take The English Press Seriously At All Because All They Want Is Dirt... I Hate Them.

I Don't Collaborate. You're Born Alone, You Die Alone, You Get On Stage Alone.

There're Lots Of Musicians In My Family, Too. My Mother Sings Incredibly Well. I've Got To Make A Record With My Mother's Voice On It. She Sings A Lyric Soprano. We Do The Opposite. I'm A Baritone. She's A Star Singer In Her Church. She Always Does Her Solo.

Whatever One Is Creating, One Has To Stick To One's Guns And Just Do It. That Is All. Put Your Foot Down And Do Not Let Your Work Be Compromised.

I Loved All Those Classic Figures From The '30s And '40s... Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Humphrey Bogart, Rita Hayworth. They Had Such Glamour And Style. I Loved The Movies Of Those Times Too - So Much Attention Paid To Details, Lights, Clothing, The Way The Studios Would Develop Talent.
