When I sing, I feel like when you're first in love. It's more than sex. It's that point two people can get to they call love, when you really touch someone for the first time, but it's gigantic, multiplied by the whole audience. I feel chills.

I just want to write songs in my little corner. And I still love music, I've not been worn down by cynicism.

I don't write songs about a specific, elusive thing. I write about love, and everyone knows what it is like to have your heart broken.

Love Me Do, the first song we recorded, John was supposed to sing the lead, but they changed their minds and asked me to sing lead because they wanted John to play harmonica.

A lot of my songs are fantasy. I can dream up all kinds of things. That's the kind of world I live in. It's very sort of flamboyant, and that's the kind of way I write. I love it.

I have shared my whole life. My private and my show business life. It helps me actually to feel my songs and to go on with my dreams.
