Kevin Costner told me that 'True' was his and his wife's song. I'm not sure if that's a good thing because they split up soon after.

I've always thought that actors wanted to be pop musicians and pop musicians wanted to be actors.

The thought of going on tour with people like Toyah Wilcox is just appalling. I'm certainly not tempted.

I think my younger self would be more amazed to know I was doing an interview for 'The Spectator.

Punk was sort of an angry stance against things that had happened just before, against the pop of glam rock, against progressive rock. Music had become very staid and it was about the playing and people obsessed. Eric Clapton was God and we needed an enema within the art form, and punk did do that.

I detest that saying Everything happens for a reason; its nonsense.
