People Think I'm A Miserable Sod But

I'm Unable To Really Write The Kind Of Song That Doesn't Have A Visual Element, Which Most Songs Don't.

The Rock Star Is Dying. And It's A Small Tragedy. Rock Stars Have Blogs Now. I Have No Use For That Kind Of Rock Star.

I Think I Have Always Had A Pretty Strong Creative Impulse. And That Has Probably Saved Me From Abandoning Myself Completely.

Writing Is A Necessary Thing For Me, Just To Keep Myself Level. It Has Beneficial Effects On My Life.

The Way People Reacted To Me In Dressing Rooms And So On Was Incredibly Aggressive. They Know Every Record And They Seem To Think They Should Nudge Me Or Bump Into Me As They Go Past. It Was This Incredible Performance That Used To Amuse Me. In The Early Days, People Were Drawn Towards Us Like They'd Be Drawn Towards A Car Smash...there Is A Definite Relationship Between That Fanaticism And The Fan That, As A Performer, You Expose More Of Yourself, Of The Undercurrents Of Your Personality. Most Rock Personalities Subdue That Or Choose Not To Explore It.
