I could write songs about politics, but I'm conscious of not writing songs that sound the same as the ones I wrote 30 years ago.

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

The Zombies were really unique - they had elements of jazz and classical music in their songs and songwriting. They had a very, very different sound compared to a lot of their contemporaries at the time.

You can listen to music at any moment in the day or night. Which is great, but I think it kind of devalues it as well.

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

It's important to know all those things, but part of our jobs is to move people along and to make people excited to buy music or buy clothes, and give them enjoyment, I think, too.

I've always liked my clothes, even before I could properly afford them. Clothes for me were never a cloak, a cover. They were how I chose to express myself.
