Dogs have boundless enthusiasm but no sense of shame. I should have a dog as a life coach.

Whereas for me, touring tends to be a very strange and isolating experience.

Call me a nerd if you like, but I do find it hard to leave home without my laptop and a good book.

For my most of my career I've been a falling-down drunk. Most of my interviews were done hungover, and for a while it was great.

I've done the performing monkey stuff and massive breakdowns, it's just they weren't documented.

So in 1987 I gave up all animal products and became a vegan. Simply so that I could eat and live in accordance with my beliefs that animals have their own lives, that they're entitled to their own lives and that contributing to animal suffering is something that I don't want to be a part of.

People don't truly respond to something until they see the direct consequences.
