And there are certain songs that are really timepieces and shouldn't be touched. But some of them are a celebration of good humour and sensibility and I think that's okay. I don't care about the past, I'm a musician with ambition.

If I didn't do what I do, I wouldn't be as young as I am.

I haven't lost my innocence particularly. I'm always ready to pretend I haven't. Yeah, it is a shame in a way.

I think The Song Remains The Same is such a load of old bollocks.

Old men do it better. We're not so sensitive in certain areas.

You can't give up something you really believe in for financial reasons. If you die by the roadside - so be it. But at least you know you've tried. Ten minutes in the music scene was the equal of one hundred years outside of it.

You know, people can't fall in love with me just because I'm good at what I do.
