My son is a great kid and does super well in school. I couldn't be prouder of him. What I tell him is, 'You don't want to just be known for being the son of a rich rock 'n' roll star.' I've seen a lot of kids like that. I want him to be happy, work hard and create his own thing. I tell him, 'You're not gonna be one of these kids up on stage playing with me. If you wanna have hits - write your own. Then we can play together.'

I've never done songs with people just for the sake of the great combination. I've always done songs with friends.

I take the invasion of my personal space very seriously...

I remember coming home from school one time and saying very calmly to my mum, 'I'm not going any more. It's a waste of time. I gotta get going with this music thing. School's getting in the way.' It freaked her out.

I don't read books. I like to read newspapers and magazines, but I've never learnt to enjoy books or novels.

I've been to your mountains, I've been to your sea-side, and everywhere I went somebody's wanted a free ride.

I don't steal things. I'm rich.
