I've always looked the same. Since I was a child, I hated having to deal with my hair. I hated having to change my clothes. As a kid, I had a sailor shirt and the same old corduroy pants, and that's what I wanted to wear everyday. ↗

Somehow I started introducing writing into my drawings, and after a time, the language took over and I started getting very involved with the handwriting and then the look of the handwriting. ↗

Sure I destroyed my guitar at every concert, but it was okay, because I'd always get a shiny new one the very next day. ↗

What I say should always be prefaced with this: I'm not really politically articulate. I just try to be like Thomas Paine: what is common sense? So when I say these things to you, I am speaking from a humanist point of view. I just look around and see what's wrong. ↗

I married somebody who likes the way I look. If I changed my hair every year, and I reinvented myself in time-honoured pop fashion, I think understandably the person I'm married to would grow slightly sick of me. ↗

I look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I'm going to jump the counter. ↗

I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us. ↗

Nobody notices me. Nobody thinks I'm me. But then I look less like me than most of the people coming to our concerts. ↗
