dad thinking class
I keep my house tidy, because then I can think clearly. I feel the same about myself. Presenting yourself well is a working-class thing - my dad was a printer, but he wore a tie most days. The ungroomed look belongs more to the middle classes.
art rocks glam-rock
Punk was sort of an angry stance against things that had happened just before, against the pop of glam rock, against progressive rock. Music had become very staid and it was about the playing and people obsessed. Eric Clapton was God and we needed an enema within the art form, and punk did do that.
writing next lines
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
struggle giving people
Music gives voices to people struggling to come out of themselves.
dad thinking dying
In the '80s the band was 24/7. You were only as good as what you were producing at any given moment. Now my family is more important. I also think having the shock of your mum and dad dying humbles you slightly.
successful years musical
Maybe I've got to admit that what I did here was enough. I can make some more films. Maybe I'll direct a film. Maybe I'll have my musical put on stage. But nothing, really, to be absolutely honest, competes with making a very successful pop band for 10 years of my life.
band hell stressful
I've been through Hell with some of the members of my old band, and Hell is highly stressful.
love-is priorities support
Love is family, support, priority, and understanding.
art would-be shame
It's a shame because we experienced probably the greatest thing - in art, in pop - we'll ever do. And it would be good to sit around and talk about it.
stars dad book
We never had books at home, but my dad, seeing how keen I was to read, took me to Islington Library when I was about eight and we pulled out two - a Biggles and a science fiction novel. I never got the ace fighter pilot but fell in love with all things to do with the future and space. Isaac Asimov soon became my guiding star.
suits made aesthetic
I am a person who holds the aesthetic high. I have suits made in Savile Row.
children my-children
I love my children unconditionally.
blood england hot
I love England. I don't really like places when they're too hot. It's my Celtic blood.
thinking firsts situation
I think I tried to control situations within my first marriage and I wasn't the easiest person to live with.
