I thought, I'm in my late 50s now, am I ever gonna get the chance to do another album again?

I can imagine moving out to the seaside at some point. I like Brighton, my sister lives there. I'm a seaside boy and whenever I go there, I find myself writing songs about it.

You can't keep pursuing pop success, and chasing the past.

I became the magnet for a lot of scary aggression. Cos it's scary Up North!

I think in the past I think I probably was a little too diverse, probably went from one spectrum to the complete opposite and confusing people.

I'm not one of these people who thinks everything in the past is great and everything modern is terrible. But I do think cities should be a mix of old things and new things.

On my Instagram, I'm always keeping a record of things being pulled down in Soho and shutters being closed. Every city - and London more than anywhere - has got to be a vibrant mix of all different things. We can't allow it to become a monoculture.
