Half my fan mail comes from Japan.

My dad is a doctor, a professor of psychiatry, and my mum is a psychotherapist.

When I was at school, I was in choirs more than anything else, from a very young age, about 9 years old. And then I started taking drum lessons.

I always looked really young for my age. And once I hit 23, 24 and 25, I was then allowed to play the cool 18-year-olds and stuff.

I swim a lot. I swim most days.

I’m not really an animal person.

I’m a fan myself, so when a fan does something that might be strange, I understand it.

I am thorough believer in the American test of character. He will not build high who does not build for himself.

None can do a man so much harm as he doeth himself.

I have always been very diversified, so I have never suffered a catastrophic loss. I spread my money around the way a large institutional investor does. I use different brokerage firms. I manage some of my accounts myself.

When the wound/ No longer hurts/ The scar does.
