When the bills are paid.
To share my craft with different musicians and fans.
Humility trumps ego any day.
When I forget the lyrics.
My congas.
Johnny Walker on the rocks.
Record a live CD/DVD at O2 Arena in London.
My originality.
Funny, loyal, friendly, passionate, humble.
M*rda.
To record my original music.
The inability to make more music.
Watching sports all day.
Get carried away.
Be yourself, everyone else is taken.
Super rich and at my own motor launch.
Retire to a game reserve.
