There's so much mythologising around me.
I don't like going to parties, I like having parties at home.
If the press can take the easy option, they will. To them, I'm always 'the wild man.'
A lot of what journalists write is drivel.
I've been on the edge of everything, like one of those characters at the side of a Brueghel painting with a warty nose. I've been very lucky - I lived through three of the most profoundly important musical revolutions of the 20th century: latterday rock and roll, punk and then the rave culture.
You can't learn how to have presence. I walk into a room and people say 'I wonder where he's been?' When other people walk in, they say 'I wonder where he's going?'
If everybody was a bank clerk, then I would be a rebel. But if everyone was a rebel, then I promise you I would go out of my way to be a bank clerk.
My whole life has been a holiday!
I love reading when I'm on holiday.
Anything to do with Heathrow is a nightmare.
I loathe the very thought of airports and also airlines taking as much from you as possible and giving very little back.
My hero in adulthood would be Michael Bryant, who's dead, bless him. His memory lives on. He was an actor at the National, and a wonderful man.
I'm in love with corrugated iron buildings, especially chapels and churches.
I would have loved to have been in Hong Kong, or China, in around the 18th century.
Jeremy Corbyn... love him. Right person, right time. He's like a poultice, drawing Blairite disease out of the Labour party.
I hate technically constructed actors. In fact, I hate anything technically constructed, unless it's a bridge.
I do a very good Sunday roast.
There must be something about me and teeth when I'm filming abroad, I don't have a lot of luck.
I don't want to be loved. No interest in being loved whatsoever. Actually, I don't mind being misunderstood either.
The act of littering annoys me more than anything, particularly drivers who throw stuff out of the car window.
