Up until I became a father, it was all about self-obsession. But then I learned exactly what it's all about: the delight of being a servant.

For me there is something primitively soothing about this music, and it went straight to my nervous system, making me feel ten feet tall.

You were at school and you were pimply and no one wanted to know you. You get into a group and you've got thousands of chicks there.

When I look for what I'm going to listen to I go backwards. I'm always going the other way you see. Most people are trying to figure out 'how do I get in the fast lane going that way?'. I'm going in the other direction. I wanna find the oldest thing to do.

Music became a healer for me.

But I did go to music really early on, even when I was 4 or 5, I was responding to music probably in ways other kids were not.

I never met Johnny Rotten, and I didn't want to meet Johnny Rotten.
