The idea of hearing, 'Great gig, man,' one more time just turns my stomach over.

You gotta bear in mind, the youth - and this is just in Britain alone - have nowhere to go in the evenings. They've closed all the social centers. There's not even a patch of grass to kick a ball on.

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

I'm no one's lap dog, you can't put me on a leash.

I don't believe in pets. I like animals to be wild and free. But I can sit and watch an ant run up and down the floor for hours. I use a magnifying glass to look at the beautiful shape of the thing.

I always feel like a bit of an outsider myself, but as a working class lad, the system was always against me. The British system itself and then of course all the illnesses that were challenging to me.

Dummy Dum Dum was my nickname for years at school. I was the strange one of the family, the one who couldn't remember his name.
