Women! I have no idea. I don't know anything about women at all. They're a complete mystery to me.

I met John Lennon and he was with his wife in Tokyo. I met him there.

Much as I love the northeast, I didn't want to spend my life there. I wanted to experiment. Savour everything you can while you're here! Touring, seeing the world... That in itself gives you a different perspective.

I like to piece together different guitarists, unlikely bedfellows. You have Jonny Greenwood playing next to Nile Rodgers on the same track, so it becomes like an orchestra of sounds.

While it's a great indulgence, it's also very interesting to have three bass players on the same track.

It must be quite difficult if you have a father who's sort of known. On the other hand, you can get a job in his band.

But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing.
