Both me and my wife's extended family all live within a 50-mile radius. Like me, a lot of them did time in London then started drifting back to the countryside and the sea. Perhaps it's a homing instinct.
I'd rather spend my time looking at the sky than listening to Whitney Houston.
I really enjoy what I do, and who I'm with and where I am. Having said that, I'm not really a person of habit, because what I do in my job is travel around the world and play concerts to people, and occasionally do very weird things.
Whenever I'm home, I haven't got any makeup on. But even in the studio, before I do vocals, I put makeup on.
It has always seemed slightly uncomfortable, the idea of politicised musicians. Very few of them are clever enough to do it; if they're good at the political side, the music side suffers, and vice versa.
If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.
