I've got Asperger's syndrome and I'm not a very good people person, so I've always been more comfortable around machinery. Not in a weird way - I don't want to marry my car or anything stupid like that!

There's no point in lying saying I am doing really, really well because I'm not; I'm cult level.

It seems no matter what you say and how politically correctly and carefully you say it, you offend someone. Or at least I always do.

I always say it took me 10 minutes to write 'Cars,' but if I am honest it could have been even less than that - and it has been a really successful song over the years. It is still massively used, in advertising, in films, and people do cover versions of it a lot.

I don't believe in sharing my money. If I go out and work my nuts off and make some money, I don't feel that I should have to share it with my community.

I've always considered myself to be fiercely patriotic. I love Britain - its history and the down-to-earth attitude people have.

Ultravox were the blueprint for what I wanted to do, but I stumbled across them by accident.
