Qualifying for the second stage would be a successful World Cup for us. I think we can do it.
I don't really even go out that much now except to walk my dogs, because I don't want to be recognised.
I liked when I was naive and I thought it was just about making good music.
When people say, "Show your face, you're not ugly. " I want to say, "I know. I'm not doing it because I think I'm ugly; I'm trying to have some control over my image. And I'm allowed to maintain some modicum of privacy. But also I'd like not to be picked apart or for people to observe when I put on ten pounds or I have a hair extension out of place. " Most people don't have to be under that pressure, and I'd like to be one of them. I don't go on Twitter. Because when people say things like, I don't know, "I hope you get cancer and die," it hurts my feelings.

Worst music ever sells millions. The worst music with the shittiest lyrics. The fact is that they pay radio stations to put it on the radio, then you've heard it a million times when you're driving from your shitty job to your shitty house. It's indoctrination, it's sad.
There is enough sin in my best prayer to send the whole world to Hell.
If you're a baby about the media, as I was, you can't imagine what it's like when the great approval machine shines its beam on you, when every time you cross the street someone comes out of a manhole to talk about your haircut.
If you were arrested for being kind to yourself. . would there be enough evidence to convict you?
If you saw me with my clothes off you'd see that my body is in great shape and ready to take on the world. . . . I could snap my fingers and have any man I wanted, but I have too much respect for myself for that. . . . People can look then wonder about the taste and the sensuous delights of the dish, but when it comes down to it they simply can't afford such an expensive luxury.
