Being a woman is of special interest only to aspiring male transsexuals. To actual women it is simply a good excuse not to play football.

I try to write parts for women that are as complicated and interesting as women actually are.

Women's Lib? Oh I'm afraid it doesn't interest me one bit. I've been so liberated it hurts.

I continue to believe contrary to the given wisdom that it's more interesting to have an album - or indeed an individual song - which has variety rather than homogeneity.

I do interviews because it's a chance to be myself. I sometimes wonder what I could have to say that would be of any interest. I don't have any great wisdom.

Clinton is a big personality who has led a big life and for some of the media conventional wisdom to boil it down to a view that 'all people are really interested in' are a few moments of madness in the Oval Office gets him the importance of the presidency and the significance of his life all wrong.

Even wisdom has to yield to self-interest.

You must learn day by day year by year to broaden your horizon. The more things you love the more you are interested in the more you enjoy the more you are indignant about the more you have left when anything happens.

World War II has always been of great interest to me. I've known for decades that it was just one more war the politicians suckered us into.

The war on terror if this is a war on terror can only be won by a sincere regional and international cooperation. All have to believe they have something at stake and work together. In the absence of this it will become political and interest-oriented.
