All those rappers, they're the only glamorous people working in music now. They dress up in these chains of gold, cars, girls and this and that, high-heeled shoes.

I suppose young people think football is glamorous - soccer - it's big money and the stars of it, they look good and have a great big house and a huge Ferrari.

It's not a very high failure rate if you choose people that you really like the sound of.

And Mary J. Blige, she's got all these fur coats and hats and stuff. She's good; I like her.

Women! I have no idea. I don't know anything about women at all. They're a complete mystery to me.

I don't think I've ever played the Olympia before, but I'm not totally sure.

But I do like to have peace and quiet for a good hour.

Performing was terrifying.

I'd love to follow the Tour de France one day. It's a really exciting spectacle. I've only seen it once as it was coming into Paris and that was very exciting for me. I have memories of that.

The quality of the writing, really. Simple as that. Beautiful words. It's very nice as a singer to do great songs, which have wonderful lyrics and strong feelings underneath the song.

I can never predict what's going to happen.

I mean, there are so many of his songs that I like that I could easily do that one day.

You can never get silence anywhere nowadays, have you noticed?

I had beautiful bikes and I was really into it. I just thought it was really glamorous.

But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing.

In New York, you couldn't wish for a nicer audience, or in L.A., Chicago, Boston. But when you get into secondary markets, they don't have a clue.

I like the fact that music is more abstract.

It's nice to know that there are several different avenues I could pursue.

Secretly, I wanted to look like Jimi Hendrix, but I could never quite pull it off.

I don't do interviews at all when I'm on tour, so this time, on a day off, I'll do that kind of thing a little bit. I don't do big promotion schedules, not when I'm touring.

When I stopped touring in the early '80s for a few years, it was a mistake looking back. I lost touch with my audience in a way and I think that was a bad career move.

But I don't write so much now, because they're too painful.

I like the name Atomic Kitten. It's so great.

I met John Lennon and he was with his wife in Tokyo. I met him there.

I didn't really want to give up music.

I've had quite a few moments I've liked, so it's good enough.

But I was feeling quite down at the time. I was living in L.A., which was kind of weird for me.

But when I started writing songs, I stopped painting completely, and the only art things I do are connected to the career, like album sleeves and, to some extent, posters and things like that.

Words can be very powerful. I find them very difficult.

I like L.A., but I shouldn't live there.

Oh yes, much, because music is just something that comes to you. You don't question it.

It's fabulous when you do that, when you discover somebody who you like, when you kind of feel those feelings, even though he articulates them better.

I'm not really sure what it was, the best moment. You always hope it's to come.

Its fabulous when you do that when you discover somebody who you like when you kind of feel those feelings even though he articulates them better.

I hold that gentleman to be the best-dressed whose dress no one observes.

I wore a lot of vintage clothing. I dressed like a reporter, with a little card in my hat. I had these fantasies of who I wanted to be, so I'd dress like an explorer, a cowboy. I dressed up like Elton John a lot too. That was another period.

Someday I'm going to go onstage in a dress if I want to.

I'm shy. I can go on a trip for days and not go because I won't sit on a toilet seat on a plane. I'm certainly not going to go on somebody's lawn. Could you imagine, in a cocktail dress?

If Broadway shows charge preview prices while the cast is in dress rehearsal, why should restaurants charge full price when their dining room and kitchen staffs are still practicing?

Style is the dress of thought; a modest dress, Neat, but not gaudy, will true critics please.

When I decided to get married at 40, I couldn't find a dress with the modernity or sophistication I wanted. That's when I saw the opportunity for a wedding gown business.

I came across awful characters when I got some kind of status and came to Hollywood. Then you have directors trying to sleep with you, assuming that you will do things because of the way you dress.

Oh, completely liberating because even if you don't do a woman right, you just have to put on high heels a wig, a bra and a dress, and I feel liberated.

What to do? We yanked the dress up over her lovely attributes and with the addition of a scarf, the problem was solved. Sorry, guys, blame that stuffy censor. He hated surprises.

Is there anything in the world more annoyingly creepy than an unspoken dress code?

For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress, And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.

My friend made me a leather dress for the MTV awards. It gives you confidence, wearing something you love.

I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. everything a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large.
