The rock biz is the low end of the creative world. Faces come and go so fast.

I have a life beyond performance. I love it, and it probably is the better part of my life, but I do have another life.

I'm really still a child of the Forties. I still think about it a lot, about the repercussions of armed conflict. Until 1953 we had rationing. We couldn't buy meat, we couldn't buy pleasurable goods like cigarettes and sweets. I didn't starve - my family were lucky - but I knew what it was like standing in line waiting for foodstuffs.

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.

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

If you think that UFOs will come and save you, don't be fooled. The Nazis invented UFOs.

It's more important what you leave to people on this planet. I want my legacy to exist now, currently, not after I'm gone.
