“I met my wife because we were both going out with the same guy.”

You can’t stand still on one point for your entire life.

On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts.

I don’t have stylistic loyalty. That’s why people perceive me changing all the time. But there is a real continuity in my subject matter. As an artist of artifice, I do believe I have more integrity than any one of my contemporaries.

The end comes when the infinites arrive.

It’s only forever, Not long at all.

I’ve come to the realisation that I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing half the time.

If I never wake again, I certainly will have lived while I was alive.

You can neither win nor lose if you don’t run the race

In my madness I see your face in mine.

Confront a corpse at least once. The absolute absence of life is the most disturbing and challenging confrontation you will ever have.

Some people are marching together and some on their own. Others are running, the smaller ones crawl. But some sit in silence.

In your fear, seek only peace. In your fear, seek only love.

I’ve never responded well to entrenched negative thinking.

I’m just an individual who doesn’t feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I’m working for me.

I could never, ever talk to my father. I really loved him, but we couldn’t talk about anything together. There was this really British thing that being even remotely emotional was absolutely verboten.

Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming.

When a man opens a car door for his wife, it’s either a new car or a new wife.

When I’m at home, I don’t discuss business. I don’t talk business. I don’t answer the phone. It’s just me, my wife, my children, my dogs. That’s my world.

I don’t think a prostitute is more moral than a wife, but they are doing the same thing.

Study your Queen so you can give her what she wants without asking.

The day I will never forget is the day I married my wife.

I am proud to be and I am Welsh, a mother, a wife, a friend and a musician.

You’re the queen and you deserve someone who treats you like one.

Caesar’s wife must be above suspicion.
