Date of Birth4 May 1941
dog children enough
I'm not responsible enough to have a dog - or a child.
successful empty felt
I'd got very successful, everyone knew who I was, but I felt very empty.
years four-years four
I was unwelcome in the U.S. for four years.
say-anything trying world
I try to exist in a world where there is freedom of opinion, where you're allowed to make jokes. I don't want to live in some PC world where no-one's allowed to say anything.
real party thinking
I think people could be a bit friendlier. The only real contact you have with people is when they're annoyed if you've had a party - you know, it's been a bit too noisy for them or something.
mean stuff speedos
I don't get all this Speedo stuff actually, I mean, whatever happened to the feather boa?
writing thinking people
Whenever there's an interview with me, I might read it, but I don't read the comments because they're so hateful sometimes. When someone writes something nasty, I just think, "If that's your contribution to my day, I really don't need your impoliteness." I'm lucky that people are very cool with me and I get a lot of love. I appreciate that.
thinking giving individual
I think being individual in the show business is what gives you life and longevity.
voice people singing
I'm not someone who can sing anything. And my favorite singers aren't people whose voice you would say is amazing. I'm a big Bob Dylan fan, a huge David Bowie fan. None of those people have orthodox, cabaret voices. These are people where what they're singing about is just as important as how they're singing it.
kids rivers people
As a kid, I would've loved to get a tweet from David Bowie or Joan Rivers or Tom Cruise. It's great that you can communicate with people and it's instant.
serves
If an interview just serves the idea of celebrity, then I think that sucks. I don't want to do that.
carved epitaph failed forth freedom hand lost saddest saving stretch vanished
For the saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanished freedom is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while there was still time.
freshness news people stale worried
I never worried about getting stale because the news and the people induce freshness every working hour.
boys cup kinds nasty opposite performing shaking shuffle stanley teams
It's a Stanley Cup thing. The boys mangle one another for a series, performing all kinds of nasty tricks, then they make nice, shaking soggy hands as the teams shuffle in opposite directions.
