I only put an album out every two or three years.

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

I don't know if there's any formula. I'm not sure I believe in that, to be honest. I don't know if there's any rhyme or reason to music. Sometimes it hits and sometimes it doesn't, really.

I don't like to get pigeonholed. I don't like it when people think they have you sewn up.

I had a total belief in The Style Council. I meant every word and felt every action.

Sometimes you're ahead of the game and sometimes people don't get it and that's just one of those things you have to accept and carry on.

In the early-'60s, when you look at that period of time - up to the mod time - when everybody was wearing skinnier suits and skinny lapels and skinny ties - that came out of the States, and that was quite cool.
