Laying tracks gives you freedom without being too obvious.

Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.

Punk is musical freedom. It's saying doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms 'nirvana' means freedom from pain suffering and the external world and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock.

I would say that playing this character has caused me to think about a lot of things. He's always questioning himself and trying to get back to something he lost touch with and trying to find forgiveness. Everybody struggles with these things to some extent in their life.

I grew up playing music and enjoying good food friends and family in my own backyard.

The thing with food is that you can give 20 people the same recipe and the same ingredients and somebody's going to make it better than somebody else and that's the creativity of it. It's like music. You could have a bunch of people playing the same piece and somebody's gonna play it better.

Doing things like playing music something that's so natural and basic to human function running around in nature eating delicious food. These things are intrinsic in basic primordial to human beings so that's sort of a way to return to a blank canvas allowing my true personality to return.

I have always maintained a high level of fitness and that is why I am still able to handle the demands of playing in the Premiership. People have always commented on my fitness and it's something I pride myself on.

I have found a flat on Merseyside and am settling down here. If I can keep playing and get back to full match fitness I know I have a lot to offer still.

Money was never a big motivation for me except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.

I am very interested in what has been called bad taste. I believe the fear of displaying a soi-disant bad taste stops us from venturing into special cultural zones.

People don't know where to place me. Terry Gilliam used me as a quirky cop in 'Twelve Monkeys' and then he hired me again to be an effeminate hotel clerk in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'. Another time I was shooting this indie film 'The Souler Opposite' and six days a week I'm playing this big puppy dog then I come to the 'NYPD Blue' set and become this scumbag.

I don't feel I was ever a 'famous' child actor. I was just a working actor who happened to be a kid. I was never really in a hit show until I was a teenager with West Wing playing First Daughter Zoey Bartlet. In a way that was my saving grace - not being a star on a hit show. It kept me working and kept me grounded.

But just playing the partner of someone famous I had a lot more freedom.

You've got certain guys that just want to be famous and then you've got the real musicians that just love playing music.

Know the names of past and current artists who are most famous for playing their instruments.

I like playing music because it's a good living and I get satisfaction from it. But I can't feed my family with satisfaction.

Playing guitar was one of my childhood hobbies and I had played a little at school and at camp. My parents would drag me out to perform for my family like all parents do but it was a hobby - nothing more.

In spite of reports about playing with various teams I'm enjoying retirement with my family and have no plans to play football.

Family involvement is a valuable thing and playing together actively can be the '90s version of it. Instead of just watching you can do it together... something we don't spend enough time on. We can motivate and excite each other about fitness.

I want to do as little as possible when I finish playing ball - just spend a lot more time with my family.

I still have all the faith and love for my music and yet I'm still playing places for kids.

I grew up playing sports. There is a clear line between success and failure.

The difference between a beautifully made failure and a beautifully made hit is who you've got playing the leads.
