I'm not the businessman. I don't deal with the business at all. Not anymore. Occasionally, every four years or five years, they tell me I've run out of money, I have to go and make some more.

As long as my face is on page one, I don't care what they say about me on page seventeen.

You don't always do the same things you've done the night before. That's what makes playing live so interesting as opposed to being in the studio.

Rock 'n' roll and playing live is very addictive. But you have to really be careful, because you don't want to do it all the time. It's like when you are young and you think if you are not having sex you're wasting your time. But as you get older you realise everything has its place. It's the same thing with performing.... Performing is a great thing to do but you don't want to have to be doing it every night.

I don't really count myself as a very sophisticated businessperson. I'm a creative artist. All I know from business I've picked up along the way.

It's nice to collect stamps, but if it becomes obsessive, and you start stealing for your stamps, it becomes too much.

I don't think enjoying life is an exclusive prerogative of young people.
