I don't feel old or young, I just am

I'm not big on rap, to be honest. I just don't get it. It's angry people shouting. I like a song, melodies, people singing.

The Jam were a good band, however I feel that the Style Council were better. A lot of people I know will disagree with me. Some things we did with The Style Council were misinterpreted or over their heads.

I wanted to make a record that sounded like a continous piece

There's this British elegance that we, at times, have really missed in the States. We've always been more of a sportswear culture.

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 wear jeans and a T-shirt sometimes. I just like clothes - since the first time I can remember, like age ten or eleven; I was just obsessed with music and clothes. Just like a lot of people in England from my generation.
