The way people see you is the way you really are.

The people who make history are not the people who make it who are there but the people who make it and then write about it.

I'd spent my childhood thinking bad things, bad things every day. It had made me sick, but it had made me determined.

The TV licence people just can't believe we don't have a television. I'm a bolshie git. I shout at them things like, 'I don't need TV, I'm an intellectual.'

I get twitchy if I don't pick up a guitar or sit at the piano every now and then... I have to do it; I don't have a choice.

I signed contracts I didn't think were a good idea but people around me said it was the way forward. It saddens me that I'll never own my first album ever, which sucks.

Maybe rock 'n' roll isn't music. Maybe people just need to be reminded that the world ain't the way they think it is.
