Nothing wrong with pop.

I've not had Botox, no.

I don't feel old or young, I just am

Being a musician is a noble profession.

The '40s were quite austere and super glamorous.

I only put an album out every two or three years.

You can't live a lie. You have to follow your heart.

In all honesty, I don't know what one song can change.

Life is a drink and you get drunk when you're young...

I think you have to satisfy yourself first and foremost.

If we get through for two minutes only it will be a start!

I wanted to make a record that sounded like a continous piece

I'm still a mod, I'll always be a mod, you can bury me a mod.

If you're into a certain band, you're into the way they dress.

I suppose I was much more serious-minded in the '70s and '80s.

I don't really wanna talk about politics, I'm not clever enough.

I'm always looking forward to what I'm doing now, and what's ahead.

Led Zeppelin would never have reformed if he or Jimmy Page were bald.

It is nice to make a record and people like it, and it's encouraging.

If you gave me a fresh carnation, I would only crush its tender petals.

I think politicians are so far out of step with what people really want.

The whole thing with eastern music and instruments, I love all that stuff.

It's always good to play New York. The Apollo is a great gig. I loved that.

All my children inspire me in life, and that always comes out in the writing.

When I'm dead I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.

When I'm dead, I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.

I love soul music, that's my real love in life and in whatever shape or form it is.

I had a total belief in The Style Council. I meant every word and felt every action.

I get labelled as just being about one thing, but there's lots of layers to what I do.

You do your runway show, and it's all over the Internet before I see anything on there.

I don't like to get pigeonholed. I don't like it when people think they have you sewn up.

I still love playing music. It was all I ever wanted to do, and I got the chance to do it.

I don't like the royal family, I don't like the establishment, I don't like the civil service.

It's just something internal that says, 'I've got to do this now. This is what I'm doing now.'

People say that if you're still angry at 52, you're not an angry young man, just a grumpy old git.

I play out my role, I've even been out walking -They tell me that it helps, but I know when I'm beaten.

People say you make your best work when in despair, but I think happiness is a good place to write from.

Even somebody like The Black Keys or Royal Blood, they all have this original roots base to what they do.

The Beatles changed the world. They certainly changed my world, and many, many other individuals as well.

I am aware of the words 'national treasure' being attached to me occasionally. It just makes me feel old.

I think the world is really small today, and fashion, from that end of it, it's instantaneous everywhere.

I really enjoy playing America. I like the audiences there. It's the home of a lot of music I grew up with.

Everyone gets frustrated and aggressive, and I'd sooner take my aggression out on a guitar than on a person.

It can get boring. Not the playing the songs necessarily, or doing the clothes. You know, you need stimulus.

I'm so lucky, I'm just really grateful for what I've got around me - children and my wife and everything else.

I suppose it's nice to have some surprise in life and to surprise yourself in life and see what else you can do.

No man should have cowboys boots in his wardrobe. That's fair enough, isn't it? Unless you're a cowboy, of course.

I look for that stimulation constantly. I'm looking for inspiration and stimulation. Not bored with what we've done.

You can listen to music at any moment in the day or night. Which is great, but I think it kind of devalues it as well.

It's a global fashion thing; because of the Internet it has gotten really small. It's cluttered, but it's gotten small.
