It's good to play 100 per cent live - no tricks, no samples, no messing about.
Bipolar disorder, manic depression, depression, black dog, whatever you want to call it, is inherent in our society. It's a product of stress and in my case over-work.
I just think, certainly for live music it should look as good as it sounds.
I became a man. Before that I was a little boy.
Since the decline of record companies and music sales, I've always played live.
I wanted to make good records. But my problem is I've got a low boredom threshold, so I wanted it to look and sound different with each album, which is really tantamount to suicide, cause people lose it, they lose it - they say: 'I like that, and that's not this.'
