The hippy movement was a failure.

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

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

There is nothing more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

I like to read because it's the opposite of being on the go. Reading is the perfect antidote.

I just want to go back to rockin', but I'm uncertain as to what to actually do. The truth is, I never stopped thinking about rock'n'roll for a second that I'm on holiday.

A lot of the time I'm semi-insane, but there is a slight bit of intelligence there.
