I think we're great. I think we've still got it. And I think we've got something to give to people. And I think in times like this we can uplift people.

I think I'm like The Beatles - I think each one I've done is better than the last one. And hopefully I'll never make a Let It Be.

If you put your cameras down you might be able to live in the moment. You have a memory there of something you've never lived.

We've got no hate for each other [in the band Stone Roses], and we never have.
