I love England. I don't really like places when they're too hot. It's my Celtic blood.

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.

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

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

I think I tried to control situations within my first marriage and I wasn't the easiest person to live with.

Pop music should be about young people.

I think sometimes my controlling instincts came out of a fear of other people.
