My dad used to ignore me when I was a kid. He couldn't stand my voice, so he just used to ignore me, and then he'd impersonate me.

I don't think that just because you go on stage you are an exhibitionist.

Humans have always used animals to depict ideas about themselves: ideas about their status, about their position in life and society and the world.

No one ever recognises me. Everyone says, 'You don't look like your pictures.'

I live on the edge of Bath. It's really lovely, but its very loveliness freaks me out a bit. It's peaceful, a great antidote to the craziness of being on tour, but sometimes I feel as though I've retired.

You've got to go with what feels instinctive and true to your heart, and filter out all of the other stuff.
