dysfunction my-own survived
I'm surprised that I've survived my own dysfunction, really.
buy buying great
I find myself sympathizing with the Americans. Why should they buy this rubbish? Even we aren't buying it in any great numbers.
I find it too terrifying to go out in L.A.
bus hit man poor
We want to do it, just in case. You never know, I could get hit by a bus and the poor man could have nothing.
hope intended laugh people piece political
(It's) intended as a piece of political satire, no more no less, and I hope that it will make people laugh and dance, and then think a little, that's all.
again becomes massive
It was nothing really, but again it becomes this massive drama.
If I can just live further from the spotlight I think that'll be better for all really.
incredibly work written
I've written a whole body of work that I'm incredibly proud of.
I've always been the porky boy in my head.
I mean, I've done different things at different times that I shouldn't have done, once or twice, you know.
love security success
I have more love, success, and security than I could ever dream of.
bit physical sorted state
The '90s were a bit of a disaster for me in so many ways. On a personal level, I don't think I could have toured. Also, I had some physical problems with my back that are now sorted and I just wasn't in the right state of mind.
fairly men people since songs women written wrote
I do want people to know that the songs that I wrote when I was with women were really about women. And the songs that I've written since have been fairly obvious about men.
record
Of course, I want to sell this record - there's no point making it otherwise.
