I keep falling off the edge of the stage because I can't see it. I can't see my wrinkles in the mirror either, though.

I'm 100% proud of the TV work I achieved. The work I did on shows on insects and Great White sharks... stuff that's in school curriculums in England. Now they are showing up on Discovery Channel.

I don't believe in anarchy, because it will ultimately amount to the power of the bully, with weapons. Gandhi is my life's inspiration: passive resistance. I don't want to live in the Thunderdome with Mad Max.

For a gun-toting nation, Americans are surprisingly passive.

Britain's an island; it's always had a constant ebb and flow of immigration - it makes it a better place.

U2 - that's a band that never should have existed. There's no life experience in any of their songs.

You need the past as a guideline. The history of music is a good basis, but to escape that stuff, that tortuous rulebook, you have to learn it first. It's kind of like religion - once you've written the Bible, that's it, move on.
