I'm the ultimate record fan. I still go out and buy records.

I didn't sleep with anyone till I was 23.

I'm 27 years clean, and when you get clean, you see things in a different way. It makes your life so much more manageable.

For me music is so passionate. I have to give it my all every time I go onstage.

I don't have a computer. I am the Luddite of rock'n'roll, I don't have a portable phone. I write things down.

In the '50s you weren't taught about sex whatsoever. It was never just talked about. People used to snoop behind their curtains and look at the neighbors. And if a girl became pregnant in your part of the world, she was shipped off to the countryside.

I'm 57, I can't look like a 30-year-old. You try to hold age at bay, but there comes a point when you just have to give up gracefully.
