The point about it is that if you're pointed toward some kind of goodness, some kind of light, something positive, you find your way through these trials and tribulations, ... I've basically dedicated my whole lyrical life to people's ability to cope with the struggle because I do believe there is a struggle. And I don't mean it in a negative sense. I just mean it in a realistic sense. Nothing is greater than staying right on the positive, but sometimes life can have a way of just pulling you back and dragging you a bit.
It's such a legacy, it's insane... even outside of America, CBGB is synonymous with New York, with music.
I think that in order to survive, there's this concept of having bulletproof skin,
he says. ''But I like to create challenges for myself. There are loads of producers less edgy than Page, but he's been great in many ways, doing guitar parts and arrangements and also knowing when to leave me alone.
There's nothing worse than someone coming up to me and going ''Oh God, I really love your hair.''
If you just keep your head down and just try and do your thing, sometimes magic happens.
The only people who benefit from lawsuits are lawyers. I think we made a couple of them rich.
Any reaction is better than none.
I'm not a workaholic, but I was a bit manic, I have to confess.
I love what I'm doing most of the time, but it's hard work. People only see your albums in the charts. They see us at award shows and after-show parties. They don't know about your doubts, the hard work that goes in.
I always wrote about things that were important to me. I think our past success showed that it was also important for a lot of others.
I was in rock music in London when it was the height of Brit pop, with The Kinks revival and Suede and Blur and Oasis, and all of those really great bands that were of a certain style. If I'd really been smart and commercially minded, I would have just got myself a blazer and some Stay Press and some Fred Perry tops, and just gone out and tried to do it like everyone else. Instead, I did this ridiculous thing of trying to do this music.
When I was lucky enough to be successful, I distanced myself completely from the whole thing of units and selling copies. I just wanted to keep everyone who comes to see me happy. I spend so much time after my shows talking to people who come from all over the world to see me. I'll go out and sign a picture and have a chat.
Women are part of the reason for washing and keeping clean, aren't they?
