I'm a flamboyant person. I like to live life. I certainly work hard for it, and I want to have a good time. Don't deny me that. It might not come again and I want to enjoy myself a little.

When your persona begins to take over your music and becomes more important, you enter a dangerous place. Once you have people around you who don't question you, you're in a dangerous place.

I am a romantic, but I do put up a barrier around myself, so it is hard for people to get in and to know the real me.

I'm hopeless with money; I simply spend what I've got.

I can't help myself because basically I'm a softie I have this hard, macho shell - which I project on stage but there's a much softer side. too, which melts like butter.

I like to be surrounded by splendid things.
