It's a two-dimensional gig being a singer, and you can get lost in your own tedium and repetition.

I don't know how much more expressive you can get than being a rock and roll singer.

It's not some great work of beauty and love to be a rock-and-roll singer.

There's nothing new under the sun - you just get a can of paint out.

The trouble is now, with rock'n'roll and stuff, it gets so big that it loses what once upon a time was a magnificent thing, where it was special and quite elusive and occasionally a little sinister and it had its own world nobody could get in.

I like the idea of being alone. I like the idea of often being alone in all aspects of my life. I like to feel lonely. I like to need things.
