It may be a coincidence, but from the minute I took anti-depressants, I didn't pick up a guitar or a pen for seven years.

Antidepressants are very good, but it's a clinical cosh, really. Sometimes you have to be knocked out, just to stop; when you're in that state all you want to do is just sleep, and rest your body and your brain.

I became a man. Before that I was a little boy.

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.'

Bad things happen sometimes.

I have loved eight women in my life. I remember every woman's face.
