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

I suppose I was much more serious-minded in the '70s and '80s.

I don't like the royal family, I don't like the establishment, I don't like the civil service.

I get labelled as just being about one thing, but there's lots of layers to what I do.

I don't really wanna talk about politics, I'm not clever enough.

My own personal theory is that all popular music, in whatever form it is, to me, it all comes from Africa. Whether it's filtered through America or whatever - African-American. But I still think there's something in that roots music that's very, very African, and I think that's what unites people.

When I'm dead I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.
