It's Good To Touch The Green, Green

I Couldn't Do The Heavy Rock Thing Anymore. Noddy Holder Was Around Kicking Every Singer In The ***. I Never Wanted To Be A Pop Singer. Christ, How I Hated Noddy!

I've Always Felt Myself As Being A Serious Singer.

I Think When You've Lived A Bit, You Read More Into The Songs. I Do, Anyway. And You're Sort Of Living The Songs Rather Than Performing Them.

I Think It's Good That I Had Some Experience Of The Real World Before I Became Successful. You Know, Having To Get Up In The Morning And Going To Work In Construction.

When You First Start Off, I Know Singers Who Have Only Been In The Business Just A Short Amount Of Time, And They've Already Written Their Autobiography. I Didn't Want To Write It Too Soon. I Wanted To Live A While And Write About Things That I Felt Were Important To Me - Growing Up In Wales, And The Characters That I Met And Listened To.
