We were on the cover of Women's Wear Daily, which was hardly rock 'n' roll, but it pleased me.

My brother Martin is two years younger than me. There has never been any competition between us - clearly he was the good-looking one; he was also very sporty, and I am not a football player.

The thought of going on tour with people like Toyah Wilcox is just appalling. I'm certainly not tempted.

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.

We always had National Geographic and Astronomy magazines and Popular Mechanics lying around the house.

For my band's debut tour in 2011, we road-tripped across the country in a 15-passenger van. It was the first time I'd left Alabama. I drove through scenery I'd only ever seen in calendars: auburn leaves falling in Vermont, the sun setting over purple mountains in Arizona. It was incredible.
