The only people who benefit from lawsuits are lawyers. I think we made a couple of them rich.

I am really addicted to music.

I was in rock music in London when it was the height of Brit pop, with The Kinks revival and Suede and Blur and Oasis, and all of those really great bands that were of a certain style. If I'd really been smart and commercially minded, I would have just got myself a blazer and some Stay Press and some Fred Perry tops, and just gone out and tried to do it like everyone else. Instead, I did this ridiculous thing of trying to do this music.

In a band that works out well, everybody has a certain role to fulfill.

I love playing live, I don't like studios all that much. I need the reaction of the audience.

I'd love a drug that was good for you, I was thinking about ecstacy with Vitamin B.

Most people who are on the road are pretty damaged. It's an escapist's life. It's not a life that forces you to look in the mirror at where you're at and what you're doing. It's one where you leave the mirror behind. I think that appeals to something in all of us. On the open road, all of your regrets are out the window.
