I suppose you can't take kids into consideration all the time, but I just wish there could be a bit of flexibility.

Many people think of me as a perfectionist, someone who polishes and shines each song and performance. I've always been bothered by that assumption.

I remember flying with Air India to New York quite a few years ago now and I love Indian food, so the fact that I had a curry on board was fantastic.

To be honest, producing records interests me less at the moment and I really don't want to get involved in album projects that are going to take up a lot of time

On the day of the show, I sit down with someone that speaks very good English and someone who speaks the local language very well and work out what I'm going to say.

We stayed in some pretty shabby places in Europe.

That's going to be on my headstone: 'He came. He wrote 'In the Air Tonight.' He... died.'
