Coming from art school, I had a great sense of style - as did The Beatles and the Stones - and I enjoyed projecting that. Image, attitude, great music and great lyrics - that was the '60s.

In my time, we didn't know songs could last. All we ever thought of was next Tuesday. You never imagined a future.
