We lived the life with Keith Moon. It was all Spinal Tap magnified a thousand times.

I've always felt that music is an art form that deserves to live the life of the artist.

I've never wanted to be anyone other than who I am.

I'm surrounded by good people. That's the measure of a good life. All the rest is flotsam.

You have to keep fit being a singer - that's part of the job. You can't do it unless you have incredible stamina.

Unless you've been touched personally, it's difficult to see, but there are millions of people who have no voice whatsoever.

I live 50 miles from London and we've got some of the highest levels of teenage and childhood poverty in the country. It's disgusting. Just because it's a rural area, it gets forgotten.
