I went to the big Picasso retrospective at the Tate in the sixties, and I think I went to an Andy Warhol retrospective at the Tate in the sixties, too. My mother was very good at taking me to things like that. We lived in Reading, but we went on these cultural trips to London.

I’d love to make more money in America, that’s the heart of it. I make much more money in Europe. It’s a shame. I’m trying now to make a profit on this next tour, and I’ll be much happier.
