My dad, bless him, was a musician. And his dad had thought that his music was rubbish.

If this ever changing world in which we live in makes you give in and cry, say live and let die.

I'm often reading a magazine and hearing about someone's new record, and I think: "Oh, boy, that's gonna be better than me". It's a very common thing.

When you were young, and your heart, was an open book. You used to say, live and let live.

I think people who create and write, it actually does flow-just flows from into their head, into their hand, and they write it down. It's simple.

When a war is over I think it's a cowardly thing to leave the war behind you in minefields that hit women and children and the most vulnerable. Imagine the war is finished and you go to work and there are snipers shooting at you. Imagine taking your kids to the beach and you find that the beach is blowing up beneath you. Like there's nowhere safe.

Be cool and you'll be alright. That's rock & roll religion.
