music
I have got other interests than just making music. I would like to follow those interests through.
absolutely minded music people pop seen
I never minded being thought of as a pop star. People have always thought I wanted to be seen as a serious musician, but I didn't, I just wanted people to know that I was absolutely serious about pop music.
adversary degree drove fact father fought musician powerful successful tool work
The fact I had my father as an adversary was such a powerful tool to work with. I subconsciously fought him to the degree that I drove me to be one of the most successful musician in the world.
british-musician comfort
There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find.
charity musician done
Even though it's become a really cliched thing to see musicians working for charity, it's still effective and it still has to be done.
believe men music-is
I still believe that music is one of the greatest gifts that God gave to man.

Please listen to this song. This one is called, 'Brother Can You Spare a Dime,'
incredibly work written
I've written a whole body of work that I'm incredibly proud of.
love security success
I have more love, success, and security than I could ever dream of.
bit physical sorted state
The '90s were a bit of a disaster for me in so many ways. On a personal level, I don't think I could have toured. Also, I had some physical problems with my back that are now sorted and I just wasn't in the right state of mind.
fairly men people since songs women written wrote
I do want people to know that the songs that I wrote when I was with women were really about women. And the songs that I've written since have been fairly obvious about men.
record
Of course, I want to sell this record - there's no point making it otherwise.
outlive work
I've achieved what every artist wants, which is that some of their work will outlive them.
since tendency
I know I have a very self-destructive tendency since my mother died, I have got to be honest.
