I want to do a collaboration or some kind of side thing or some soundtrack work. Because I've been doing this for years and years. I'd like to just step out and try something different.

I didn't want the record to be cold and I don't think it's cold at all. I felt it was very people oriented.

'Free' is more of that 'familiarity breeds contempt' kind of thing. It's about saying 'Wait, I'm longing for something more than I have and I don't know what it is that I want, but I know I want it.' It has nothing to do with what I'm going through, personally.

Giving people what they want isn't just good radio; it's also the right way to run a country.

But if you really want to learn about life, get a cat. The way I think people should relate to animals is with a cat. Because the world is his.

The British do not expect happiness. I had the impression, all the time that I lived there, that they do not want to be happy; they want to be right.

We ask the great masses of India to be patient a short time longer, while the cause of freedom is being fought out, not because we want to delay, but because the hard facts of war make a complete change impossible at the moment.
