Quotations

"I don't want to re-issue it because it might become a parody of the time. I haven't stopped it being around. In the past, the record company have said let's reissue it and I've said, "Let's not!". They'd be doing it for all the wrong reasons. It's not right to do it just to cash in. It's very of the time, to re-issue it now is just confusing. It's like me getting back together with an old boyfriend and having sex with somebody I did when I was 23. I'm not hiding the fact we did it and if you can find the photographs to prove it, y'know? But I'm not gonna do it again. "
