I will always pay respect and homage to my early years, because that's what gave me the initial push to go on and do what it is I do. That's where I learned the love and respect for music.

Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!

Punk was never about one particular clean-cut imagery... it's about many, many individuals coming very loosely together.

I love boating - not flash, 'noisy go fast' nonsense, but the general relaxation of it. My wife and I love to get in our little Wellcraft and go as far out to sea as we can, hopefully beyond land. That is the best thing you can ever do. It clears your psyche.

I had an Irish Catholic education. Horrible nuns, vindictive and cruel.
