All my family back to the 1700s were water Gypsies. My brothers and me, we were the first ones to be born on dry land. All the rest of them were born on barges in the canals.

My dad lived till he was 78, my mum was in her 80s, and I've got two uncles who are in their 90s now.

I used to worry, 'I've lost my family.' They hated me for a while, but they're very resilient.

I'm a Gemini, so I have a great time with the other guy.

Back in those days, all us skinny white British kids were trying to look cool and sound black. And there was Hendrix, the ultimate in black cool. Everything he did was natural and perfect.

With every gig we have to prove ourselves better than the night before.

I just think my body can't handle it any more. I did try a little drink a while back, and I was actually physically ill. I went into an immediate depression, and felt awful, just dreadful. So that's it. I'm over it now.
