I like touring, I like being in the studio, a bit of both. I like to have a bit of time at home as well.

I don't want to be nasty but let's just say Robbie Williams is no Freddie Mercury.

I didn't actually realise what apartheid meant. I'm probably a bit naive, but I thought it was more of a vague segregation, like on the beaches and buses.

There was always a lot of American music in England until, obviously when the Beatles came around, then there was a shift towards English music, but before then American music was the main thing...

Our albums just tend to be collections of songs really, because we all write in the group, all four of us.

I went along and basically learned a few of the songs they were doing at the time, which were quite a few of the songs we ended up doing on our first album.

The band was rejuvenated by that wonderful day. It breathed new life into us.
