Ive been touring now since about 68.
I've been touring now since about '68.
I've been touring now since about '68. I was in Germany when the wall came down. Unfortunately I was in New York when 9/11 happened.
Ive had one very bad ankle injury but otherwise Ive been incredibly lucky with my fitness. Ive worked hard at it and Ive always been fit even compared to other players. That sustains you through various parts of your career, but I am 36.
Touring has been a new part of my life in a lot of ways. We've just been touring massively since the record came out and before. Learning how to write while all that is going on is a new thing.
I was 12 years fittin to be a billionaire; I was 15 years old as a millionaire. Ive been rich since I was 14. My son has been a millionaire since he was 12, so thats just the life. Weve been playing with money since young.
Since I finished in football Ive had no sport in my life, no football. Ive always been geared towards something for the weekend, always had competition.
Its always been fun for me to play a variety of parts, and over the years, Ive been lucky with the things Ive been asked to do.
Ive been fortunate to be short my entire life. Theres only one position Ive ever had to play, and thats point guard. So Ive always had to be that leader. And that was my job: you know, to talk.
I work in bits and pieces. When I'm touring it's difficult. After touring, when I have space and time, it's a process, something I've been doing since I was 10 or 11 years old. I collect lyrics, melodies, bits and pieces, and finally it all comes together. It's hard to say - I've been trying to figure out how the process works.
Although I have been pretty vocal about hating touring, the only part of touring I don't like is being on the bus and bouncing around.
Ive been playing music since I was born.
And working on 'Grantchester' is a joy. Ive been in the business for 35 years and Ive never been on a film set that is so joyous and life-affirming.
Guitars have been the obsession of my life. I first picked one up at the age of four and Ive been a guitar junkie ever since.
I have used, you know, marijuana ... since Ive been in the league.
We should feel an urgency about our environment and what's been done to it by human action and inaction. I wouldn't say there's a resurgence - I think it's been with us all along, and especially since the 1960s and 1970s, but it is true that there's almost a subsection of the bookstore devoted to it now. Personally, I've been addressing these issues in my long and short fiction since the late 1980s - basically since the beginning of my career.
I'm 30, and I've been touring since I was 15. So it's been a long journey to get here.
