To do much clear thinking a person must arrange for regular periods of solitude when they can concentrate and indulge the imagination without distraction.

I've been called a recluse. There's definitely truth in that. I like to spend time alone.

I exist in the depths of solitude pondering my true goal. Trying to find peace of mind and still preserve my soul.

On stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone.

Some people can't stand being alone. I love solitude and silence. But when I come out of it, I'm a regular talking machine. It's all or nothing for me.

I'm kind of like the Lone Ranger or Batman. I can just go to my mansion and jump out in my uniform and sing on weekends.
