I love my children unconditionally.

Road cycling, especially up mountains. It's the heady mixture of endorphins and aesthetics that I love. My wife does it too, and being with her in extreme but beautiful conditions adds to the experience and our relationship.

We were on the cover of Women's Wear Daily, which was hardly rock 'n' roll, but it pleased me.

Don't see the point in reading ghost-written autobiographies, even though some of these published lives may fascinate me. The 'ghost' is always present, manipulating an interview into first-person singular text, and it feels like I'm reading a lie.

Don't give pain to others.

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

It's always an honour doing anything for your country.
