I really enjoy playing America. I like the audiences there. It's the home of a lot of music I grew up with.

Today, we're even into the whole sweat thing. They'll wear a [suit] jacket like this, but they'll wear it with sweat pants and sneakers. But I do think there is every generation - and it won't be as big as it was when you and I were those ages - but every generation all of a sudden experiences that they want to dress up.

I still want to do what I want to do, but we also have to think about some sense of protecting the business that's out there as well.

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 get bored quickly. I kind of take my hat off to bands who have been around for a long time and still do the same thing, because it's hard to keep a band together for decades. But I couldn't do that. I couldn't play the same songs night after night or just trade on my past glories, because it wouldn't interest me as a person.

"Ageism" or whatever you want to call it, is a very English phenomenon. You don't get it too much in many other cultures. And no one says it about authors or poets or filmmakers. "Oh, they're too old to make films or write books." You know what I mean?

I'm still a mod, I'll always be a mod, you can bury me a mod.
