Of course I have regrets; I’m not stupid.

The equipment you’ve got really dictates what you’re going to do. When I started touring, there were no monitors, so I had to take the sound from the hall, and of course it was on a delay, so I would sing, and then I would hear it back, but later. It was very weird.

I want to do movies, but I want to do something that’s good. I don’t want to make any more films until I feel that I’m ready for it. I want to have good work, and a very elegant life. I believe you get what you want.

For some people, marriage may be very groovy. For me, it really isn’t. I don’t think it really is for most people anyway. Most people are not very happy.

I went to the big Picasso retrospective at the Tate in the sixties, and I think I went to an Andy Warhol retrospective at the Tate in the sixties, too. My mother was very good at taking me to things like that. We lived in Reading, but we went on these cultural trips to London.

It has been an extraordinary experience and, in many ways, extremely positive.
