I'm Afraid Of Americans.

As You Get Older, The Questions Come Down To About Two Or Three. How Long? And What Do I Do With The Time I've Got Left?

What I Do Is I Write Mainly About Very Personal And Rather Lonely Feelings, And I Explore Them In A Different Way Each Time. You Know, What I Do Is Not Terribly Intellectual. I'm A Pop Singer For Christ's Sake. As A Person, I'm Fairly Uncomplicated.

It Took Me A Long Time To Reach The Bottom And It Went Through Various Stages. I Went From Drugs Into An Alcohol Stage. For A While, One Feels, "ah, I've Kicked Drugs," But What I Discovered Was I Had Another Addiction Instead.

Strangely, Some Songs You Really Don't Want To Write.

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