Coming out's the hardest part, when you're Queen Elvis.

I've never been burdened with a hit record, so I don't have to play the same songs. I play songs people think they like.

I was always jealous of something getting more attention.

Just as with a guitar, you can improvise a guitar solo, and they'd probably be similar each time, but they won't be exactly the same. With the word, it's probably a bit freer than that. I probably repeat myself more musically than I do verbally.

I would be quite happy never to play any of my better-known songs again. But unless you're Dylan, you can't afford to completely disregard what your audience wants.

Comedy is what happens when you cross the dateline from the unbearable. Things become so unbearable they become a joke.

After the Soft Boys I just didn't want to work with any more guitarists.
