I Could Never Have Done What I

I Surrounded Myself With People Who Indulged My Ego. They Treated Me As Though I Was Ziggy Stardust Or One Of My Characters, Never Realising That David Jones Might Be Behind It.

Rather Than Really Have, Like A Close Relationship To Anything That's Coming Out Today, People Are Just, They've Got It On As Background Music. It's Kind Of The Same Way The Cabdrivers Use Music; It's Very Disposable.

I Never Really Got The Book Together For The Thing, So I Had All The Songs And The Characters. But By The Time We'd Gotten It On The Road And I'd Been Doing It For 18 Months, Oh God, I Couldn't Wait To Move On To Something Else.

I Don't Think I Did Anything That My Contemporaries Didn't; It Was Just That I Was The Only One Who Talked About It. In The Sixties Anyone Who Had A Sense Of Style Seemed To Be Gay. I Wanted To Indentify With That.

I Think The Only Music I Didn't Listen To Was Country And Western, And That Holds To This Day.
