I have a life coach out with me on tour, a very nice guy from L.A. He just prepares me for each day.

I will miss a good friend who was so talanted. He was such agreat performer/ guitar player. Sleep well Prince.

I always want to rock.

I can't go along with all that shit about having to give everything up. I'd always say to them in the clinic I'm still going to have a Guinness, I'm still going to have a glass of wine. They say you can smoke 400 cigs a day and drink 20 cups of coffee, but you can't have a line or a drink again.

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.

When I get intimate with my paintings, it's a real good spiritual thing to get off my chest. Same as playing the instruments is a great release.

The last show we played, I was straight as a die. It did feel weird not to be hiding behind alcohol or dope, but being focused was... good.
