I think I've lost that ability to slow things down - that ability drivers have to calculate what's coming by you at tremendous speed. I used to have it.

After I got back my career and my artistic freedom in 1982, my golden rule is the music must never suffer.

I live halfway between London and the airport, which means I can operate my European career and get home every night. It costs a lot of money, but it's worth it.

I do have this big weakness: I over-cooperate with people. People say it's because I'm Irish-Italian from Middlesbrough, and me dad was always like that, y'know - 'Get the job done.'

Trees Lounge is based on my own life. Both my parents like the movie. My father, of course, thinks it's a masterpiece.

A stylist might say you look amazing in anything. Your family will always tell you if you look a complete idiot.

One thing that was passed on from generation to generation in my family, over seven generations in 200 years, was never give up. That's the way we live.

My desire to be valued is manifested in cultivating relationships with my friends and family.
