See the ridiculous in everything.

Apart from the fact that I've got a strange job, I do lead a fairly normal life. I do my own shopping. I don't feel constrained by who I am because of what I do; I often feel disappointed by my lack of ability. I get frustrated at myself, but I think everyone does.

In some cases, I quite like irritating people who need to be irritated.

I think that if you become a parent, you stop being a child, and your position in relation to your parents changes.

The very first concert I ever went to on my own was actually Rory Gallagher. In a one-month period in 1973 or '74, I saw him, Thin Lizzy and the Rolling Stones. I wasn't really a big Rory Gallagher fan, but I thought his guitar playing was fabulous. But Thin Lizzy, they were fabulous.

Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.

I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.
