I don't think success arrives and you're suddenly happy. It's not like that. If people think that they'll be very disappointed.

I turn over a lot of money for a lot of people and I'm the smallest fish in it

I look at Jagger and the like and if I see a good attitude I'll admire it but I wouldn't copy their style.

Kylie Minogue - she's so great. You'd love her if you met her. Everyone would. In a way I wish everyone could, to see what a person she is. She's so sweet and no bull and really funny, man, really funny. The Rolling Stones are like a weight around your neck. All that..'you're not meant to rock after you're 30...you've got to die in a car crash or of a drug overdose.

But then, you know, I'm very happy, I've got to this stage in my life and I'm not dead. I haven't got married and divorced and done all that palimony business, you know all that mess.

We always thought it strange that nobody was up on that stage playing soul stuff. Maybe people were playing it in their garages, like us, but they always reverted to pure rock when they got on stage.

It's so strange how my life's changed; I know nothing about the people that I touch.
