I Love Being Manipulated By

Not My Biggest Fear, But My Biggest Problem Onstage Is Over-emphasizing What I Do. I'm Pushing Too Hard. You Need To Engage An Audience. They Need To Be Able To Involve Their Own Imaginations As Well. They Don't Need Everything Thrust Down Their Throat, And I Have A Tendency To Do That. I Always Have Had A Tendency To Do That.

There's Always Pain Around. That's One Thing You Can Guarantee In Life - There Will Always Be A Surplus Of Pain.

Everyone Wants To Feel That They Matter.

At School I Was An Anti-magnet For Women.

The Way People Reacted To Me In Dressing Rooms And So On Was Incredibly Aggressive. They Know Every Record And They Seem To Think They Should Nudge Me Or Bump Into Me As They Go Past. It Was This Incredible Performance That Used To Amuse Me. In The Early Days, People Were Drawn Towards Us Like They'd Be Drawn Towards A Car Smash...there Is A Definite Relationship Between That Fanaticism And The Fan That, As A Performer, You Expose More Of Yourself, Of The Undercurrents Of Your Personality. Most Rock Personalities Subdue That Or Choose Not To Explore It.
