One of the most beautiful things about Britain, apart from the NHS and the free education, is the British Army.

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.

For me, I'll always stand up for the disenfranchised, and I'm going to make a big point of that. I'm not a protest singer as such, you know? After the endurance course of the early 70s and 60s, I don't want to become one of them twats. But you got to learn to speak the truth.

You can always wake up on the wrong side of the bed and boo-hiss everyone suffers. We can all be temperamental.

There's nothing glorious in dying. Anyone can do it.

It's nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I'm bloody close.

I love conversation and the sharing of different thoughts and philosophies. That kind of stuff always makes me happy. I don't mind interviews, either - I like doing them.
