Why should I care what other people think of me? I am who I am. And who I wanna be.

I sing in five or six different voices that are all part of me. It's not contrived.

I'm sure that I don't know everything I want to know. I have so much more to learn.

I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy, and driven.

I think my music is like anchovies - some people like it, some people get nauseous.

As long as someone else controls your history the truth shall remain just a mystery

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. Keep your mind set, keep your hair long.

I went to music school, and I guess I was a difficult, know-it-all type of student.

Most of the time, I'm here in Michigan and I'm taking out the garbage every Monday.

I think being individual in the show business is what gives you life and longevity.

Luckily, I'm not one of those people who wants to be young; it's never bothered me.

Compliments are very un-British, but when someone pays you one, you should take it.

There's 'Erewhon', a whole big super store where they do incredible raw vegan food.

I'm the smart aleck. The class clown. I'm the guy who does the song nobody expects.

Hi my name is Brian, but uh, you can call me 'B-Rok'. Cuz, I be rockin' your house!

I hate the pigeonholing that's happened in the music business in the last 30 years.

I hate those old falsettos, I really do, and it's embarrassing since I've grown up.

I love the Sex Pistols. I'm a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan.

Hawaii is paradise. It sounds cheesy to say it, but there's music in the air there.

If something can be said to make an awkward moment even worse, I'm going to say it.

One thing I love about the Grammys is that they love to recognize old, risky music.

When I first began writing music I was really inspired by the French electro scene.

I used to try to bully my friends into imitating the Spice Girls on the playground.

I've always felt that if people just came to one of my gigs, all would be revealed.

Do you go to gym and exercise to music? Before Chubby Checker, that never happened.

Dancing - however you do it, even if it's in your living room - is a great workout.

What I do is all about expressing myself, whether it's music or the clothes I wear.

Definitely. The way I look is a reflection of who I am. That's how my music is too.

I'm probably more into a more spacious, even meditative, quiet delivery of singing.

My wife is unusually kind and generous, but she's no fool. You don't mess with her.

You know, even U2 took a little time off, and then they came back with a new sound.

Whenever this person comes (the right girl) I'm sure you'll feel something you know

If not music, I think it would be pretty cool to be an ear, nose and throat doctor.

I absolutely think the Seattle grunge sound was instrumental to my music education.

In music the mystical element is definitely there all the time, and one can see it.

Working as a solo artist has given me a confidence that I didn't have with Blondie.

I need to keep traveling, being a gypsy, having experiences and writing about them.

I see so many little boys I wanna marry, I see plenty little kids I've yet to have.

I believe we are all dual beings. Some cultures actually believe we have two souls.
