My favorite thing about touring is the new towns and new faces every day.
I got a couple on per album but my problem was that I wanted to sing the songs and not let Roger sing them.
I don't mind doing the Who tours when they come along but I want to get out there and play.
I got a feeling that when I have kids, I'm going to have a little girl, and she's going to be completely sensible.
When you first start singing something after you've written it, it has this sort of sparkle to it. And if you capture that, that's luck.
I write pretty much year-round, but I definitely do more when a deadline is looming.
The mid-life crisis is just those times when you're not so into the things you were when you were younger.
During a big rock show, you can flub a few things and nobody will hear it, because it gets buried under everything else.
Every time Paul and Gene use my makeup, they have to pay me a royalty check. I think they changed the makeup so they didn't have to pay me.
I find myself being attracted to dudes all the time. I'm like, 'Wow, that's a beautiful man.' There's no shame in it; that's how I feel.
I was quite a weird kid because I didn't like getting presents. I don't know why. I just went for books all the time.
What had disappointed me at the time of the last tour, was to go on a worldwide tour, we were at some incredible places and we couldn't enjoy it, hadn't the time.
We were into Hendrix and Cream, who were like the heaviest bands around at that time. We just wanted to be heavier than everybody else!
At the time, we thought it was a nice way to say something unique about the group to make us different from all the other bands kicking around in London.
I'm always amazed by people who blog all the time and tweet all the time, and still get things done. I don't know how they do it.
I went along and basically learned a few of the songs they were doing at the time, which were quite a few of the songs we ended up doing on our first album.
I fix things all the time. Every time I do a solo, I re-check it and correct things that don't hit the mark.
Going to Nashville to meet the in-laws was the first time when I'd been in America and not been seen as some sort of eccentric character with a cute accent.
If you can make the song a soundtrack to what you're living at the time, I think that's the most important part of a song.
It may take me a long time before I feel 'ready' to tour as a lead singer. I may never be ready... we'll just have to see.
There's been a lot of role reversal going on in the band. The roles people have been playing for a long time will always be there, but everybody's willing to try on different outfits.
