If you're going to play it out of tune, then play it out of tune properly.

I like to push people till I get the truth out of them.

I read daft history books. Sometimes the books I read are a bit crackers or strange.

I was picked on because I was timid. I had younger sisters; I couldn't turn to them for help. I didn't have an older brother.

I don't want security guards. I don't think security guards are particularly good for your writing.

I can write, boy, I can write. That's what I do. The trouble is that it's too bloody easy for people, that's why music is in the sorry state that it is. Any idiot, actors mainly, can go in there, sing a chord, bang on a machine... I'm not objecting to that but when people get at me for trying to say something in a rock 'n' roll mode it's as if I'm the freak.

I like to push people till I get the truth out of them. Get them drunk, or whatever. Then discover what they really think. Push them and push them and push them.
