Everybody is a teenage idol.

I don't want to live on past records.

By going solo I could lose a fortune but money is not important.

You are never really prepared for criticism.

I don't play for the money.

As an artist, you need to be not at all entitled in your relation with the work. So money is kind of worrying. You can start to expect things if you're used to a certain level of comfort.

You could lose hundreds or thousands one day on paper and gain it all back the next, and it has literally no effect on your immediate future, provided the money you have in the market is money you're investing for the long haul (meaning at least three to five years).

I often think that people who write a lot about poverty need to go and spend more time with poor people.
