I'd really rather just be the anonymous Mr. Nobody who I always was up until I first went onstage. I liked that.

I don't really go out to clubs, but if I did, I'd just want to go rock out with my mates or whatever.

I don't like to be recognized on the street or in restaurants, and I don't like the whole celebrity thing.

I don't like to think that I'm on a treadmill of album, tour, promotion and all that.

If you're purely derivative in what you do, then you could very easily get lost along the way. But for me, I might want to even do something else for a while.

How much did you get for your soul?

I had a very colorless background, and when I left Ohio and moved to England, nobody knew who I was and I had a real freedom. I could be free to experiment and experience things and I liked that a lot.
