If you're into a certain band, you're into the way they dress. 
I'm always looking forward to what I'm doing now, and what's ahead. 
I want to hear as much music as I possibly can before I leave this mortal coil but it's impossible to hear it all because there's so much of it. 
The '40s were quite austere and super glamorous. 
I think the world is really small today, and fashion, from that end of it, it's instantaneous everywhere. 
I had a total belief in The Style Council. I meant every word and felt every action. 
I still love playing music. It was all I ever wanted to do, and I got the chance to do it. 
I look for that stimulation constantly. I'm looking for inspiration and stimulation. Not bored with what we've done. 
I've not had Botox, no. 
I suppose I was much more serious-minded in the '70s and '80s. 
It's just something internal that says, 'I've got to do this now. This is what I'm doing now.' 
No man should have cowboys boots in his wardrobe. That's fair enough, isn't it? Unless you're a cowboy, of course. 
All my children inspire me in life, and that always comes out in the writing. 
I could say that 'Exile On Main Street' was my favourite or whatever, but I'm more about the songs and the artists and the sound that they bring. 
I'm still a mod, I'll always be a mod, you can bury me a mod. 
In all honesty, I don't know what one song can change. 
I wanted to make a record that sounded like a continous piece 
I could write songs about politics, but I'm conscious of not writing songs that sound the same as the ones I wrote 30 years ago. 
I don't like the royal family, I don't like the establishment, I don't like the civil service. 
The whole thing with eastern music and instruments, I love all that stuff. 
I don't really wanna talk about politics, I'm not clever enough. 
It can get boring. Not the playing the songs necessarily, or doing the clothes. You know, you need stimulus. 
I still want to do what I want to do, but we also have to think about some sense of protecting the business that's out there 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. 
I didn't imagine getting to 50, let alone still be playing music. When I was 18, I thought it'd all be over by the time I was 21. 
I think politicians are so far out of step with what people really want. 
If we get through for two minutes only it will be a start! 
I play out my role, I've even been out walking -They tell me that it helps, but I know when I'm beaten ... 
There's this British elegance that we, at times, have really missed in the States. We've always been more of a sportswear culture. 
There is a shy side to me that evaporates when I play on stage, and I like that. I think it's another facet of my character, and I need to do that. 
You can't live a lie. You have to follow your heart. 
I'm not big on rap, to be honest. I just don't get it. It's angry people shouting. I like a song, melodies, people singing. 
Nothing wrong with pop! 
Sometimes you're ahead of the game and sometimes people don't get it and that's just one of those things you have to accept and carry on. 
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. 
I don't like to get pigeonholed. I don't like it when people think they have you sewn up. 
There have been records I've been really, really pleased with that haven't connected with people. But I felt good about them. 
Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter. 
I think you have to satisfy yourself first and foremost. 
There are so many artists who get to my age that get comfortable and just stick in a groove, and I really don't want to do that.
