I don't really know any other musicians like me. I grew up backstage with my dad who played in a post-war dance band, so I always feel at home at a venue.

It's like the mod thing is happening again.

I have to say that anger is the blanket that comes around me, and that blunts and blurs my sense of proportion.

Although I was well past my teenage troubles, our music was specifically designed to lubricate the passage from adolescence to adulthood.

I think we are incumbent, I am incumbent, the Who is incumbent, anybody that produces anything by me is incumbent by my Englishness.

We won't get fooled again!

I only really started to go to plays and to be interested in drama 20 years ago when as an artist I was already well-rounded. I think I'm more disciplined today.
