covering feathers hard less obsess physical retired rock shape strange suit
The feathers have been retired to the London Hard Rock Cafe. I don't obsess about it as much. Also, it's strange - the better physical shape I get in, the less I care about what suit I'm covering myself up in. I'm not really out to flaunt it, but I'm just more comfortable in my own skin.

I grew up loving a lot of English bands, ... That has a huge effect on you. If I was listening to hip-hop as opposed to Morrissey when I was 13, I would probably be a very different musician. But that's what I was drawn to when I was growing up.

People who were in their 20s back in the '80s have told us that we remind them of their favorite bands from when they were younger, ... I understand them. When I was a kid I loved those bands, too. We have that in common with the people who come out and see us.

Music makes my blood flow. I don't know anyone who doesn't have a favorite song. I just want to be the messenger.
