Graham Parker

I started to work up in my old bedroom, playing, writing songs, and it somehow came to me that I could introduce soul music. Nobody seemed to be doing that.

I went to Morocco, joined a band called Pegasus, ran out of money, went to Gibraltar and worked on the docks, writing songs about the sun and the morning and the birds.

In the early days, I had very little idea about arrangements, and I wrote songs a little flat, as it were, just on an acoustic guitar. They didn't really have quite enough nuance.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
