Possibly because I grew up not feeling very confident about my own physical appearance, I developed internal devices so that I could integrate into society.

Here's the tragedy of the modern record business: It's radio. If you're not on radio, nobody really is going to hear you or see you or care about you.

A lot of celebrities just want money, fame, power, fancy cars, houses all over the world and have people BOW DOWN to them. To me, that's frightful behaviour.

I just want to live my life a little freely and not adhere to any schedule - just make music and have fun.

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.

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

I have a temper on me that could hold back tides.
