Slade was never pretentious. It was just music to them. Pop, rock, soul....it was all the same to Slade. They wrote great songs. And, besides, I'd like to raid their wardrobe.

I do all the work so it's only right that I should get the most money. Plus I am the most handsome.

Anything that's of any use, famous people get hold of it and take it for themselves and it gets a bad rap.

Rock stardom will die because nobody will make enough money any more to be rock stars.

Great music is in the ear of the beholder.

I've never been asked to do a collaboration. I guess I just don't give off that come-and-get-me vibe. I wouldn't be adverse to doing one with Coldplay or U2 - anyone who sells 50 million albums.

Progression is going forwards. Going backwards is regression. Going sideways is just gression.
