I don't think I've ever played the Olympia before, but I'm not totally sure.

I met John Lennon and he was with his wife in Tokyo. I met him there.

I'm not really sure what it was, the best moment. You always hope it's to come.

Oh yes, much, because music is just something that comes to you. You don't question it.

Words can be very powerful. I find them very difficult.

All those rappers, they're the only glamorous people working in music now. They dress up in these chains of gold, cars, girls and this and that, high-heeled shoes.

I can never predict what's going to happen.

I didn't really want to give up music.

I like the fact that music is more abstract.

Performing was terrifying.

I don't do interviews at all when I'm on tour, so this time, on a day off, I'll do that kind of thing a little bit. I don't do big promotion schedules, not when I'm touring.

I'd love to follow the Tour de France one day. It's a really exciting spectacle. I've only seen it once as it was coming into Paris and that was very exciting for me. I have memories of that.

- Bryan Ferry

It's fabulous when you do that, when you discover somebody who you like, when you kind of feel those feelings, even though he articulates them better.

- Bryan Ferry

When I stopped touring in the early '80s for a few years, it was a mistake looking back. I lost touch with my audience in a way and I think that was a bad career move.

- Bryan Ferry

But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing.

I like L.A., but I shouldn't live there.

- Bryan Ferry

I had beautiful bikes and I was really into it. I just thought it was really glamorous.
