“I'm not a great singer, but I'm a great stylist.”

“I don't think I'm a very good songwriter. I'm a good arranger.”

“The thing that I've always been most proud of is that I've always been myself.”

“I'm a worrier. I'm a constant worrier.”

“I felt like an alien. I always felt like I was on the outside looking in.”

“My image was a lightning rod. It's why I'm still here.”

“I don't really care what people think of me. I never have.”

“I'm not trying to be a futuristic person. I'm just a person who is interested in science and technology.”

“I have no desire to be a pop star. I just want to make music.”

“I have always been far more interested in sound than melody.”
