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.

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

I always thought if a guy could play the guitar, he must be something really special.

I expect people to at least use some thought.

Music reflects the time that it's being made in, and so certainly, the music that's being made in 1986 by a 14-year-old kid will reflect some magic of 1986 for him if he's an inspired and creative musician.

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 believe there is any justifiable reason for killing any animal unless perhaps if it's killing you! That would be negotiable.
