Michael Jackson plays the wounded puppy very well. 'I must be the loneliest man in the world'. Well, you're not a man. And the loneliness is self inflicted, so sod off you pathetic puerile pimp. I wonder what color his willy is.

You can always wake up on the wrong side of the bed and boo-hiss everyone suffers. We can all be temperamental.

I have a sensible set of values that tell me to never lie.

Punks in their silly leather jackets are a cliché. I have never liked the term and have never discussed it. I just got on with it and got out of it when it became a competition.

I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, but I made a rap song 20 years ago with Afrika Bambaataa.

There's many, many ways to write a song. But generally, sitting down at a table and writing is not one of them.

Art should be life. It's an imitation of life. It should have some humanity in it.

I'm a great self-doubter. I constantly need to prove myself to myself. I've never run to heroin or alcohol to hide that. I always have to deal with it. Stage fright is always going to be there. I have nightmares about bad gigs.

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

I love boating - not flash, 'noisy go fast' nonsense, but the general relaxation of it. My wife and I love to get in our little Wellcraft and go as far out to sea as we can, hopefully beyond land. That is the best thing you can ever do. It clears your psyche.

I've never told anyone this. But I suffer from terrible stage fright. True. You can't tell though, can you? Unbelievable, the panic. I nearly die of fear before I go on stage. Something wicked. I can't eat a thing the day before a gig. It'd make me vomit.

My words are my bullets.

Records were vitally important to the development of music and of all music cultures. With that being pushed by the wayside, I can't see an iPod uniting us. In fact it separates us, the streets are full of people bumping into lamp posts, listening to their own little universe, and there's no sharing in that.

I'm just permanently agitated by everything and everyone.

I don't listen to music. I hate music.

As a human being, I'm work in process.

If I'm left to my own devices, I will be tempted to make the most unlistenable music possible.

I'm not limited to categories or genres. Anything human beings come up with fascinates me. If a three-legged idiot like me can dance to it, then that's all well and fine.
