I still want to play music but I don't want to look like Donald Duck while I'm doing it.
Make this man a saint now, OK?
I don't want to be married. I'm very happy with a civil partnership. If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership. The word 'marriage,' I think, puts a lot of people off. You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships.

I don't have a computer. I am the Luddite of rock'n'roll, I don't have a portable phone. I write things down.

I loathe celebrity. I can't stand it.
I do work a lot. I mean, most of my income, I would say, comes from live performances. And then you've got publishing, you've got record royalties.
