I Haven't Had The Time To Plan

People Have This Obsession. They Want You To Be Like You Were In 1969. They Want You To, Because Otherwise Their Youth Goes With You. It's Very Selfish, But It's Understandable.

Rock Has To Absorb Other Rhythmic Forms, Because The Underlying Rhythm Of Music Changes With Fashion, And People Like To Move Differently, And The Underlying Rhythms Have To Be The Ones That People Want To Dance To.

Rock 'n' Roll And Playing Live Is Very Addictive. But You Have To Really Be Careful, Because You Don't Want To Do It All The Time. It's Like When You Are Young And You Think If You Are Not Having Sex You're Wasting Your Time. But As You Get Older You Realise Everything Has Its Place. It's The Same Thing With Performing.... Performing Is A Great Thing To Do But You Don't Want To Have To Be Doing It Every Night.

I Used To Play Saturday Night Shows With Different Little Groups. If I Could Get A Show, I Would Do It. I Used To Do Mad Things - I Used To Go And Do These Shows And Go On My Knees And Roll On The Ground - When I Was 15,16 Years Old. And My Parents Were Extremely Disapproving Of It All. Because It Was Just Not Done. This Was For Very Low-class People, Remember. Rock & Roll Singers Weren't Educated People

My Mother Has Always Been Unhappy With What I Do. She Would Rather I Do Something Nicer, Like Be A Bricklayer.
