My mum has always said I am too hard on myself. But I have always been like that and it has always helped me. After matches I focus only on what I did wrong. Never...

You want to know what makes me tick, I’ll tell you what makes me tick. I was a boy growing up in Brooklyn; I read a two-penny magazine called ‘The Hawk’s Nest.’ Nobody entered that...

I was like any new bride, who said, ‘I’m going to cook for my man.’ In fact, once I started a small kitchen fire in a pan. Smoke was pouring from the pan, and I...

The first half of the 20th century belongs to Picasso, and the second half is about photography. They said digital would kill photography because everyone can do it, but they said that about the box...

I’ve always said I’ve wanted to be around forever. I never wanted to be the latest, greatest thing. I want to be like Willie Nelson – touring when I’m 70. To do that, you can’t...

It is also said of me that I now and then contradict myself. Yes, I improve wonderfully as time goes on.

I talked to the record company about what I had in mind. They said they wanted something lush. I figured the best thing to do was let them hear what I had in mind.
