Married life is absolutely brilliant.

We're great, Jo and me. We're pals, and I guess sex has a lot to do with it. She's also brilliant at clearing a room. So protective, so devoted. I can't believe how much she loves me.

I like it when journalists are nice to me, and it's happening more and more.

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.

It's taken folk a while to come around, hasn't it? Even the boys in the band weren't too sure about the whole art thing. They just wanted me to concentrate on the music. But they respect it now.

When I first saw Jo, I said boom, that was it, because I'm a one-woman man.

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.
