Always As A Musician You Must Have

I Don't Hate Journalists. You Can't Hate A Class Of People. It's Wrong To Say That. But I Do Think They're A Bit Like Poison. Never Trust Them. You Can't Trust Them As A Class Of People. It's Their Job Not To Be Trusted.

I Love Country Music, But I Find It Very Hard To Take It Seriously. I Also Think A Lot Of Country Music Is Sung With The Tongue In Cheek, So I Do It Tongue In Cheek.

It's Hard To Believe That You Did So Many Drugs For So Long. That's What I Find Really Hard. And Didn't Really Consider It. It Was Eating And Drinking And Taking Drugs And Having Sex. It Was Just Part Of Life.

I Suppose You Do Think About The Time That's Allotted To You More Than When You Were Younger. The Mortality Thing Obviously Has A Stronger Pull For You. It's An Imminent Truth; It's Not Necessarily A Bad Thing. You Realize - Much Earlier Than My Age Now - That You Won't Be Able To Play For England's Football Team, Just To Take A Really Crass Example. So You Can't Have That Life Again. Unless You Believe In Reincarnation Or Whatever. Reincarnation? That's A Whole Other Question. I Find People Who Talk About That Sort Of Thing In Interviews Idiotic. And I Don't Want To Go Down With Them.

I Don't Like Drugs. I Think Cocaine Is A Very Bad, Habit-forming Bore. It's About The Most Boring Drug Ever Invented.
