I don't think musicians should be role models. The lifestyle is so different and especially in the music biz, drugs have always played such a huge role. My mistake was, that I was always honest about it. Even the old blues and jazz people were taking drugs, Billie Holiday for example. It's the new American thing, you know.
Drugs are a disease spread by musicians.
In London, they pop more than 150,000 pills of XTC every weekend and you can't tell me that all the pills are taken by musicians. There aren't that many musicians in London. I like acting. I need to do something creative, that was always my motivation. At the moment it's music, and the band has become my life, but there is always a possibility that I might go back to acting.
