A lot of pop music is about stealing pocket money from children.

I make up my own mind in light of available facts, with my own experience and a sense of personal ethics.

When I was a young boy, I preferred cats to dogs. From the age of seven or eight onwards I just felt more comfortable with cats. And I felt more comfortable with girls, I didn't really like hanging out with guys. When I was about ten or eleven, I was friendlier with the girls in my school than with the guys.

Our politicians may fail us, but Status Quo always delivers on the promise.

Touring is what you make it. I like to organise as much as possible myself.

As a musician, life is not over just because you are getting older, and so I find retirement a very frightening and dark thought.
