The evil lot who did that thing on September 11 did it because they wanted to create a war between America and Islam. And by invading Iraq, we gave them what they hoped for.

I've had songs written during the Falklands war, and during the first Gulf war I got letters from soldiers saying they were listening to these songs, like Island of no return.

I never met a politician who didn't want to be a guitar player in a rock band. I've got the opportunity to say what I believe in.

So, in some ways, the political songs tend to be a bit more like reportage, whereas the love songs tend to be like novels, you can pick them up off the shelf and go into them any time.

Peace, bread, work, and freedom is the best we can achieve.

I'm celebrating my love for you with a pint of beer and a new tattoo

War what is it good for? It's good for business.
