When you play arenas you can create whatever you want. At a theater the height of the stage and the limitations of the theater can make you feel more separate from the audience.

I am a reluctant celebrity, in some ways.

I'm not shy or reclusive. I just spend my time with people rather than journalists.

I've made sacrifices. I'm not anti-fashion but I've always had a bit of a punk attitude. That's important, I think. I do my own thing.

When you tour, you regain the music and the connection with the audience.

People generally let me be me. People are aware that I'm not someone particularly begging for attention. They hold back a bit with me.

I've got absolutely no real perception, properly, of time.
