America is incredibly professional and corporate.

There's no new direction. It's not more poppy or more rocky. They're just rock'n'roll tunes. I'll never change the music I write.

When I'm doing music and I'm on the road, I love it. But once I'm home, it's very difficult to go back out on the road.

These fledgling democracies in the Middle East, they're actually fighting for their freedom. And what are they rioting for in England? Leisurewear.

The scumbags are taking over the streets. I don't know what David Cameron and Gordon Brown are going to do about it. It all goes back to the Thatcher (Margaret Thatcher) years. It sounds like a cliché but that's when the rot set in.

As I get older, I don't aggressively pursue songs. All the great ones just appear.
