Apparently, I have a totally different sense of humour.

I've been in Hamburg for about ten years and I just feel at home.

I'm not sure it pays to do anything remotely public in Britain. It's such a spiteful society. People seem to enjoy making your life hard for the sake of it.

I think that's one reason why football is so popular again - it's a game which the citizen can focus on, where the rules are defined.

I still like being in North of England and I keep a place there. But there are a lot of things about the Continent that are to be preferred. The social institutions work better, women have a better position in society and the food is another thing.

I don't want people to come and see our gig because of the magnificent things I'm doing with my hips, but it's their evening, you know. They have to have fun. I'm a little bit naive.
