record
Of course, I want to sell this record - there's no point making it otherwise.
listen please spare
Please listen to this song. This one is called, 'Brother Can You Spare a Dime,'
If I can just live further from the spotlight I think that'll be better for all really.
incredibly work written
I've written a whole body of work that I'm incredibly proud of.
I've always been the porky boy in my head.
I mean, I've done different things at different times that I shouldn't have done, once or twice, you know.
love security success
I have more love, success, and security than I could ever dream of.
bit physical sorted state
The '90s were a bit of a disaster for me in so many ways. On a personal level, I don't think I could have toured. Also, I had some physical problems with my back that are now sorted and I just wasn't in the right state of mind.
fairly men people since songs women written wrote
I do want people to know that the songs that I wrote when I was with women were really about women. And the songs that I've written since have been fairly obvious about men.
music
I have got other interests than just making music. I would like to follow those interests through.
outlive work
I've achieved what every artist wants, which is that some of their work will outlive them.
since tendency
I know I have a very self-destructive tendency since my mother died, I have got to be honest.
I'm not a novelty act from the '80s in most parts of the world.
people playing
You can't imagine what it's like playing to people who have been loyal to you for 25 years and haven't seen you for 15.
