Americans are crazy. They have this fascination with throwing their shoes on stage. I've been to a lot of shows in me life, some good and some bad. But I was never moved to take off me shoes and throw it at the lead singer.

Jack White has just done a song for Coca-Cola. End of. He ceases to be in the club. And he looks like Zorro on doughnuts.

I love the Bee Gees, but only the pre-disco stuff. From '64 to '69, I've got all their albums.

You can have it all but how much do you want it?

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 don't fall into the category of tortured artist. But it's not made me more or less anything.
