The great thing about getting older is that you learn not to care about being cool. I'm happy with who I am, I know what I like and I can't see myself changing… not for a little while, at least.

I've always got my eye on my deathbed.

There's a difference between the parts that I play and who I am and who people think I am. There's quite a big discrepancy sometimes between those things.

I love that pre-mod jazz look of the late Fifties, the Steve McQueen style that influenced the British modernists.
