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

Sometimes you're quite fortunate, being on the stage, getting to meet people like Salvador Dali.

I like lots of songs, and I find it quite interesting to do [cover songs] from time to time. My first solo hit was in 1973, the Dylan song “A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall.”

I didn't really want to give up music.

I like to think Duke Ellington would probably embrace a fragrance as well.
Bryan Ferry

It's quite funny that, 20 years ago, one would have thought putting out a fragrance would [negatively] affect your musical credibility. Now it may enhance it.

I did some songs for Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby. I had done a jazz album of Roxy songs, and they used bits of it in the film. It would be nice to score a movie one day.

Performing was terrifying.

I like to piece together different guitarists, unlikely bedfellows. You have Jonny Greenwood playing next to Nile Rodgers on the same track, so it becomes like an orchestra of sounds.
Bryan Ferry
Image
I've done shows with orchestras, and I like writing with orchestras.
Bryan Ferry
Image
It's good having a lot of different songs to choose from to do the show. It means you don't get bored of doing it in one particular genre.

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

Get down with your old Allman Bros. records!

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.

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.

You can never get silence anywhere nowadays, have you noticed?
