No, I like being a role model because I know how much comfort my musical idols brought me.

I feel privileged, to be honest.

Even to survive and have everyone in good health now is really precious. Bands half our age don't even get that lucky sometimes. It's good to practice gratitude, as they say. I used to be so ungracious, I wasn't even aware that I should be feeling grateful! Now I actually try and put it into my daily thought: Be grateful. It's not always so easy.

Humans all want to beat the clock but nobody ever does.

I wanted to put out a solo record because I was stuck on a major label and sick of it.

I've got a lot of stamina and I enjoy people, so having lots of people around doesn't freak me out.

Being a musician makes you very - musicians in general tend to be quite sensitive, I think, to the environment around them, which helps when you are trying to interact with others on screen, to be aware, to be sensitive, and to try to understand what's going on in the scene.
