Pop music was supposed to be a flash in the pan, but here we are 50 years later and it means something to us, and it always will do. It's incredibly important.

I think the world is really small today, and fashion, from that end of it, it's instantaneous everywhere.

I'd like to think I've left something in the world. Without in any way trying to be morbid, but life is very short, and I'd like to think I'd leave some body of work that would inspire other musicians long after I've gone.

For me, my entry point, when I was old enough, was the skinhead/suedehead thing, sort of like '70/'71. People didn't have much money - they would save up, or whatever - but everyone always dressed up. You'd go to a dance at the football club on a Thursday night and all of us kids - all of us from maybe like 12 to 16 - were all dressed up.

I don't think about what I can't do or what I shouldn't be doing. I just think there are endless possibilities musically, really.

I play out my role, I've even been out walking -They tell me that it helps, but I know when I'm beaten.

I still love playing music. It was all I ever wanted to do, and I got the chance to do it.
