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

When you're young you want to show people what you can do, no matter what the cost. Whereas when you're older, and you realise that maybe a drum machine is better than you playing, then use the drum machine.

I'm just trying to do things that are interesting for me.

I used to go to my local pub and it was like a sanctuary, nobody dared ask for an autograph. You went in there for a ploughman's and a pint, and you went home and watched TV. Believe me, there's more to watch on British TV than American, except for CNN right now. But yeah, I miss it.

I just don't think of myself as a star. This is what I do for a living; I'm fortunate that I make ends meet.

And, you know, I never wanted to be a singer.

That's the trouble with wishing you were somebody else. As much as you may want it, you know it'll never happen, at least not in this lifetime.
