I'm a juvenile product of the working class, who's best friend floats in the bottom of a glass.
I still want to play music but I don't want to look like Donald Duck while I'm doing it.
Make this man a saint now, OK?
I’ve never had a writer’s block, but still I think: Is it going to happen this time? You never know what you’re going to get; you just put your fingers on the keys and hope.
I didn't have sex until I was 23 and that was with a man. I made up for lost time after that in a hurry. I wish I could have had sex when I was, like, 14, 15 or 16 because that's such an exciting age to have sex.
So I am deeply saddened and shocked over the current legislation that is now in place against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community here in Russia. In my opinion, it is inhumane and it is isolating.
I mean, in some cases with libel laws, you know, they can write things about people who have no course of action, because they can't afford to take legal action against them.
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do You see I've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes, I've ever seen.
I saw you dancing out the ocean Running fast along the sand A spirit born of earth and water Fire flying from your hands
This is a tremendous assest for the club, a tremendous headache lifted from our shoulders, really.
The only thing the record companies put out now is 'Best of,'
I grew up in the Fifties and early Sixties, which were still quite conservative, and I wasn't given any information about sex or anything like that; I went out with girls at school because one had to. I didn't experiment with sex for quite a long time.
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
As a child, as a teenager, I was kind of not allowed to wear fashionable clothes.
