It took me a long time to reach the bottom and it went through various stages. I went from drugs into an alcohol stage. For a while, one feels, Ah, I've kicked drugs, but what I discovered was I had another addiction instead.

Funk, I don't think I have anything to do with funk. I've never considered myself funky.

I'm wary of the word glam because I think that became the all-inclusive term with for any bloke with lipstick on, which is fine, you know, and that's what it is when it comes down to the public level.

I guess a certain contingent of the musicians in London at the beginning of the '70s were fed up with denim and the hippies. And I think we kind of wanted to go somewhere else.
