Since the decline of record companies and music sales, I've always played live.

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.

When I was sectioned for six months, that was one of the worst experiences of my life, not being able to go out and have freedom. Having experienced it, it's almost inexplicably awful.

I am quite an early riser - I usually get up between 5.30 and 6am and take the dogs out.

I just think, certainly for live music it should look as good as it sounds.

I like being infamous. I think it is safe being a cult.

I'm blind without my glasses.
