Whenever I have bid a hasty goodbye to a loved one, I've always made sure that my record collection was safely stored away in the boot of the car.

What I lack in style and craft, I can make up for in joy and enthusiasm. I like to be around people who are at ease so I like to think the 25-year-old would find me quite an easy-going late-middle-aged hippie.

I couldn't imagine anything more horrifying than three middle aged men trying to pretend that 'Black Dog' is still significant. It's inappropriate.

I was young - I was 20 years old. Now I have the gift of perspective and I feel pretty good about it.

I treat everywhere as being a center from which I can enjoy the surroundings.

I've still got a twinkle in me.

No, I've never thought that I was gay. And that's not something you think. It's something you know.
