There is an integrity to INXS, in the music, that makes it worthwhile.

But we got up there and decided to stick to this mix of power chords and funk and that's where it really started for us. In having the courage to take that decision. To take a gamble not just with our music but our lives.

It is in the doing that makes the being worthwhile.

I know all's fair in love and war but when you go off and try to be by yourself and it ends up on the front page of the press it's frightening, knowing your life is under such scrutiny.

I look at Jagger and the like and if I see a good attitude I'll admire it but I wouldn't copy their style.

It's just as difficult to live in a self-made hell of privacy as it is to live in a self-made hell of publicity.
