ideas acting tools
Songwriting helps me sort out my personal problems. With acting, you're just a tool for someone's ideas.
lying reading may
Don't see the point in reading ghost-written autobiographies, even though some of these published lives may fascinate me. The 'ghost' is always present, manipulating an interview into first-person singular text, and it feels like I'm reading a lie.
dad thinking class
I keep my house tidy, because then I can think clearly. I feel the same about myself. Presenting yourself well is a working-class thing - my dad was a printer, but he wore a tie most days. The ungroomed look belongs more to the middle classes.
dad thinking dying
In the '80s the band was 24/7. You were only as good as what you were producing at any given moment. Now my family is more important. I also think having the shock of your mum and dad dying humbles you slightly.
writing next lines
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
song wife splits
Kevin Costner told me that 'True' was his and his wife's song. I'm not sure if that's a good thing because they split up soon after.
country honour
It's always an honour doing anything for your country.
actors musician pops
I've always thought that actors wanted to be pop musicians and pop musicians wanted to be actors.
rocks rock-n-roll
We were on the cover of Women's Wear Daily, which was hardly rock 'n' roll, but it pleased me.
everything-happens-for-a-reason nonsense detest
I detest that saying Everything happens for a reason; its nonsense.
males metrosexuals grooming
I am a metrosexual and into male grooming - I moisturise, I exfoliate.
suits made aesthetic
I am a person who holds the aesthetic high. I have suits made in Savile Row.
thinking firsts situation
I think I tried to control situations within my first marriage and I wasn't the easiest person to live with.
successful years musical
Maybe I've got to admit that what I did here was enough. I can make some more films. Maybe I'll direct a film. Maybe I'll have my musical put on stage. But nothing, really, to be absolutely honest, competes with making a very successful pop band for 10 years of my life.
