I wanted to rewrite how rock music was perceived.

I don't think I did anything that my contemporaries didn't; it was just that I was the only one who talked about it. In the Sixties anyone who had a sense of style seemed to be gay. I wanted to indentify with that.

Church on time, makes me party.

All the great mystical religions put a strong emphasis on the redeeming qualities of sex.

You know, I don't feel fifty. I feel not a day over forty-nine. It's incredible. I'm bouncy, I feel bouncy.

I don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.

I think that the history of rock could be recycled in a different way and brought back into focus without the luggage that comes along with it.
