Don't give pain to others.

For 24 hours a day, for 10 years, all I thought about was being in a band. That's all I did. I had no other social life. I don't want my life to be like that now. I've spent the past 10 years having a real life as well. But Spandau Ballet is such a difficult shadow to outrun.

I am a metrosexual and into male grooming - I moisturise, I exfoliate.

Why do I find it hard to write the next line?

I've been through Hell with some of the members of my old band, and Hell is highly stressful.

Music gives voices to people struggling to come out of themselves.

The breakup of my first marriage was my first failure; I had to learn to accept that and support the people involved. The court case brought against me by three of the band was awful, but learning how to let it go, move on, and come back together as friends and creative partners was a life lesson above any other.
