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

My activism was, and is, unknown, unannounced, but somehow effective.

I feel great that I've been given a chance in the golden years of my life. To me, it's the last battle, and I've been given a chance to get stuck in some good armament, some good power, and there's a chance that now I can finish off my working years with my head held high.

Eventually I would like to reach the stage where I don't have to write about love and kisses and all that stuff. I wish I could write about really ultimate things. That's where I think all of us want to go, really. All the groups seem to be heading towards a kind of pop music that deals with ultimate things.

You've got to create a dream. You've got to uphold the dream. If you can't, go back to the factory or go back to the desk.

Britain, and my hometown, will always be with me wherever I go and whatever I do - but I prefer to live in California.

I was in college, and very disappointed. I majored in commercial art and interior design for three or four years. At that time, it seemed the thing I really wanted to do, production design, just wasn't available in the U.K., so I turned to music.
