The Most Significant New York

Certainly For Me, When Punk Exploded In The 1970s, It Was Just Great. We Had These Wonderful Clothes To Wear. We Could Do Great Things With Our Hair. We Had Protest Badges That Read "i Belong To The Blank Generation." It Was Such A Great Time To Be A Kid.

I Exercise. I Go To The Gym Every Day. It's About Respecting What You're Doing. You're Going On Stage. You Have To Sleep. You Have To Be Prepared.

I Was About 16 When Punk Started To Happen. It Was So Exciting. You Had A Social Depression Going On In The U.k. There Was A Sanitation Strike. London Was Really Grim, Gray. You Had Margaret Thatcher Coming In. It Was A Really Revolutionary Time.

You're Lucky If You Reach The Point Where You Go, "ok, I Have A Wonderful Life ...i Fly Around The World, Stay In Beautiful Places, People Are Generally Quite Sweet To Me, What's To Complain About?" But I Think You Have To Get There... And It's Taken Me The Best Part Of 54 Years To Reach That Point Where I'm Like, "i'm Very Lucky, I'm Lucky, I'm Blessed" - All Of Those Things. I Wish I Could Impart That To Other People But I Think When You're Young, You Just Don't Listen.
