When I stopped touring in the early '80s for a few years, it was a mistake looking back. I lost touch with my audience in a way and I think that was a bad career move.

Secretly, I wanted to look like Jimi Hendrix, but I could never quite pull it off.

When I was at college - that was the first time I tried singing. I played in a band, and people seemed to like it.

I very rarely play the piano at home. Deliberately, so that when I do play it, I love it.

I've had quite a few moments I've liked, so it's good enough.

All those rappers, they're the only glamorous people working in music now. They dress up in these chains of gold, cars, girls and this and that, high-heeled shoes.

But I do like to have peace and quiet for a good hour.
