Being in a fishbowl, everybody looking at every move you make, talking about everything you do - it's just a hard life to live.
I've had a hard life. I smell and sense fear. I didn't get that from Catholic school; I know what fear is.

I remember listening to the radio as a kid and finding that the songs always made me feel more peaceful. Funny, but the more hurtin' the music was, the better it made me feel.

Being an MP is not a desperately hard life, like going down the pit or working in the steelworks - with which I am all too familiar, having been brought up in the city of Sheffield; and it certainly isn't badly paid compared with any of my constituents.
I get really tired of hearing of all these old rockers whine and complain about how hard life on the road can be. Just stop if you don't like it. I don't think of it as work. I love it all.
I had a very hard life in Kazakhstan.
