All I can go on is my own value system.

My view of the world is always tempered by the fact that there are people who are less fortunate than I am.

I'm by nature kind of a glum person, but I'm not a sad pathetic

I think rock & roll has prepared me for a lot of flexibility.

James, that's a bad situation. I'm not saying it's not repairable, but it's pretty far. When you go from being in one of the best bands in the world to some cover band... as far as I'm concerned, he was playing down at the pub.

People try to make a big deal, like I don't want to play my old songs. That's not it. I don't want to play my old songs if that's my only option. That's a different thing.

I don't have a problem with 'Idol' or 'X Factor,' I have a problem with when those things are not given the proper contextual hue.
