I'm embarrassed when I see Brits abroad; they have their tops off, wear flip flops, and shout at the top of their voices.

I was playing guitar before I heard The Beatles, but as I got older and listened to their tunes I realized they were amazing. They inspire me more now than they did when I was a kid and are still the greatest.

Phil Collins sold five times as many records as I did. Does that make him nearly as influential as I am? Nope.

I don't live to work; I work to live.

I'm not technically proficient enough to attempt all kinds of music.

Rock n' roll to me is all about freedom of thought and to be whatever you want to be.

I don't think people need to know what colour socks I'm wearing today; I don't think people need to know what shower gel I'm using. There's too much information in the world, and there's no magic or mystery anymore.
