What was great about the 80s was that you still had record companies who would get behind developing you as an artist. You had these bonkers heads of department and A&R people who, even after a flop album, would let you make another one.

Albums, with me, have never had an easy birth. Especially when all the songs are self-written songs.

I have a long history with Soho: even when I was at art college, I came down to Soho to work in the summer.

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

As long as ugly people are not on TV, you should only ever have interesting people on TV.

People come from all over the world to see this little place they've seen in movies and read about in history books: Soho.

I think the older I get the more creative I get, I don't have the distractions that I had when I was younger.
