Bryan Ferry

"The way that the Nazis staged themselves and presented themselves, my Lord! I’m talking about the films of Leni Riefenstahl and the buildings of Albert Speer and the mass marches and the flags — just fantastic. Really beautiful."

"People think I wake up in the morning and put on a tuxedo."

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

"I like the name Atomic Kitten. It's so great."

"All those rappers, they're the only glamorous people working in music now. The rock bands are rather drab, even the good ones. You definitely don't want to look at them. But some of those R&B people are very good."

"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."

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