The grown-up world was a very ordered society in the early '60s, and I was coming out of it. America was even more ordered than anywhere else. I found it was a very restrictive society in thought and behavior and dress.

When we heard we were topping the bill over James Brown we couldn't believe it. We tried for two days to get it changed round - I mean you can't follow an act like that.

I am pleased the Ministry of Culture is protecting the morals of expatriate bankers and their girlfriends.

I don't find it easy dealing with people with drug problems. It helps if you're all taking drugs, all the same drugs.

Normally I am not so violent. Everything comes from the question: Where will I die? It is a strong concern.

Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up.

Of course, I do occasionally arouse primeval instincts, but I mean, most men can do that. They can't do it to so many. I just happen to be able to do it to several thousand people. It's fun to do that.
