Authority is supposedly grounded in wisdom, but I could see from a very early age that authority was only a system of control and it didn't have any inherent wisdom. I quickly realised that you either became a power or you were crushed

I have a weird life because I live on songwriting royalties, which are a strange income. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it doesn't.

You've gotta be slightly stupid.

Yeah, all those things, responsibility, pressure. It's a bit stressful. I try and come to terms with it by not thinking about it.

Everyone has got to realise you can't hold onto the past if you want any future. Each second should lead to the next one.

I don't want to look back. I want to keep going forward, I still have something to say to people.
