I have suffered from depression for most of my life. It is an illness.

People weren't buying as many records. My record company did not want me. I went through three record companies, went on tour at the wrong time. It destroyed me.

Let's just say that back in the old days, sex was available every two feet. But I never made love to anybody that did not want me to.

I've never really been nervous about any concerts. I enjoy it so much. All that matters is getting the songs played well, trying to get them to sound as close to the record live, which isn't easy, because my music is quite complicated to play.

It's good to play 100 per cent live - no tricks, no samples, no messing about.

I've learned to really just say no. If I don't want to do something, I won't do it. There's nothing that can make me do anything.

Creative people are more prone to depression.
