I think people are just really disappointed, disappointed with Blair as well, who's just like Bush's lapdog. I think everyone's just disillusioned with politics in our country, and it must be the same in your country.

Even somebody like The Black Keys or Royal Blood, they all have this original roots base to what they do.

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.

Life is a drink and you get drunk when you're young...

The Beatles changed the world. They certainly changed my world, and many, many other individuals as well.

People say that if you're still angry at 52, you're not an angry young man, just a grumpy old git.

You can't live a lie. You have to follow your heart.
