My Earliest Memories Are Sitting On The Beach At Blackpool, And I Know That If I Went Back, It Would Be Horrible. I Know What Blackpool's Like - It's Nothing Like I Imagined It Was As A Child.

There Were Only Two Times In My Life When I've Actually Felt Down About Things And Gotten Myself Into A Full Mental Mess. One Of The Times Was In 1982. I Had A Horrible Time For A Few Months And Felt Pretty Desperate. Then Again In 1984, For Various Reasons, Not All Of Them Within My Control. Since Then, I Just Wander In And Out Of Black Moods.

When You're In A Young Band For The First Time, Geographically You're In The Same Place And You Tend To Go Out And Socialize. You Play More Shows, You Spend More Time Together. You're A Unit. As You Grow Older, Inevitably You Develop A Life Outside The Band. I Think It Would Be Tragic If You Didn't.
