I am conservative with a small 'c.' It's possible to be conservative in fiscal policy, and tolerant on moral issues or questions of freedom of expression.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Anarchy is the only slight glimmer of hope.

You wake up in the morning and you look at your old spoon, and you say to yourself, 'Mick, it's time to get yourself a new spoon.' And you do.

I must be careful not to get trapped in the past. That's why I tend to forget my songs.
