Ummm.... some of these thing DON'T map to Clojure. I'd suggest you check out Rich's videos here:
http://blip.tv/file/982823 Anyway, as to how you would solve some of these problems in Clojure... Static methods you get for free, because everything is a function in Clojure. Singletons aren't really required, because using a keyword generally gets the same effect. You can also use a memoize function to prevent expensive things being created more than once. As far as Inheritance & Interfaces are concerned... well, uh... those generally aren't used in Clojure. Personally, I use a lot of maps where I used to use objects. I've found that I like my code better now. Others might have some other ideas on how to com from Java to Closure.
