I like where I live here, in London.

Those in the developing world have so few rights - we take a lot for granted in the developed world.

I want people to understand me as a person with views, not just performing songs.

If you do nothing, if a mother doesn't come for care, if she breastfeeds her baby, the chances of the baby getting HIV are about 40%. So it's about the difference between 40% and zero. This is almost totally preventable. But it requires mothers coming for care and getting the medicines they need, and getting the education and support they need.

The music scene in the '70s was like the United Kingdom in the '70s - we had a lot of unemployment, we had inflation, we had a lot of strikes going on, on a national scale, and a lot of discontent. That was reflected in the music.

The momentum of time is always going forward. You cannot repeat what has been done before. You can't go back.

I'm an only child, you know, originally. I'm not a child anymore, but I certainly tend to spend a lot of time on my own.
