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

People tend to keep their distance.

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 could be religious, if they sang the hymns to disco.

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 feel very grateful to be alive and well enough to make music.

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.
