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.

Everything I thought I'd hate about having children - the crying, the screaming - nothing fazes me. I love it all and it's relaxed me.

I do like Britney Spears. I think she's cute. I think she's fun. And I like her records. You know, I'm not a pop snob whatsoever. I think she makes great pop records.

Love is the key we must turn, truth is the flame we must burn.

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.

At heart I've always been a music fan. That part of me has never changed since I was a little kid, sitting in a room watching a record go round, looking at the colour of the labels.

I had progressed on stage as a performer, but I hadn't progressed as a human being.
