To insult someone we call him 'bestial. For deliberate cruelty and nature 'human' might be the greater insult.

You listen to a piece of music and it will remind you of something - it might make you happy it might make you sad but it is very emotive. And I think that Duran Duran have always understood that.

I'm not suggesting people abandon musical instruments and start playing their cars and apartments but I do think the reign of music as a commodity made only by professionals might be winding down.

I love country music blues and punk and one day I might make those kinds of records.

I've got a feeling that music might not be the most interesting place to be in the world of things.

I'm pretty horrible at relationships and haven't been in many long-term ones. Leaving and moving on - returning to a familiar sense of self-reliance and autonomy - is what I know that feeling is as comfortable and comforting as it might be for a different kind of person to stay.

But when you're writing a script - for me anyway - you have to sort of create an enforced innocence. You have to divest yourself of worrying about a lot of stuff like what movies are hot what movies are not hot what the budget of this movie might be.

I don't think of it as a competition - which might surprise you given the way movies are reported constantly.

I'd love to act more. I've had to turn down multiple movies because I was on tour but it's encouraging to know that someday there might be the right role the right timing. And I've been writing a lot of music so hopefully very soon I'll have recorded a project of my own. I also want to get a boat and open a restaurant.

The one regret I have about my own abortions is that they cost money that might otherwise have been spent on something more pleasurable like taking the kids to movies and theme parks.
