We don’t want to become old, rich and useless

Sometimes the problem is not the people in the band, but the people around the band.

I've always been a fidget. I can never sit still for long.

We don’t want to become old, rich and useless

We, as pop stars, are people not androids. We’ve got views. I’ve got opinions and I don’t see why I shouldn’t use a bit of my art to put them over. I think music is one of the most powerful media forces in the world today.

I am an optimist and I always think the good will come out

After people like Lennon and Dylan, I think David Bowie brought a very modernistic intelligence and the necessity for change. I think he was completely positive, certainly through one and a half decades of completely overriding influence, in the best of popular music, and I take my bloody hat off to him!
