It's the need for change that drives us to join forces with our brothers and sisters all around the world - but change is slow.

I don't think Jimi committed suicide in the conventional way. He just decided to exit when he wanted to.

On Memorial Day, I don't want to only remember the combatants. There were also those who came out of the trenches as writers and poets, who started preaching peace, men and women who have made this world a kinder place to live.

I live my life, breathless... A life of constant motion and excitement. A life that many will envy and most would avoid!

I look upon The Animals, they were a great band initially, we left our mark, but thing was it was a band that couldn't live up to its name so I soldiered on. On one level, it was devastating for a while. On another level, maybe I should thank them for helping me make my own way in my own career.

As far as the Animals breaking up - it was my fault. I wanted out. We took it to the max, as far as we could take it. Our reunion tour in 1983 went pretty good until we left America. Then we pushed it too hard and it fell apart.

Everything changes and, somewhere along the line, I'm changing with it.
