Most of these PICTURES, TAKEN while TRAVELLING, were DEVELOPED on the mantelpiece of a hotel room, which proves that the method is easy ENOUGH to carry out.

I like doing ACCENTS. One of my friends WORKS in hotel reservations and I'll ring her up and complain about the suite. SOMETIMES I get her.

I'm not a rock star WRITING poetry. I don't feel LIKE a rock star and I don't know what one is, actually. I'm a goalie/poet or a HOTEL guest/poet or a father/poet.

I'll never forget that SHOW SEASON. It was completely MAD. I was staying between Christy and Naomi's rooms and it was all limos and the Ritz Hotel and all that KIND of business.

It is OBVIOUSLY DIFFICULT in MANCHESTER LIVING in a HOTEL.

In the early Seventies, I bought a dilapidated hotel in NORTH Stoke for about £100,000 and spent the same AMOUNT again renovating it, putting in a guitar-shaped swimming POOL, painting the bathrooms purple, and installing GOLD dolphin taps.

What happens is we finish the SHOW, have a COUPLE of drinks, GO back to the hotel, talk, and that's it.

I bring incense, ESSENTIAL oils, and candles to make my hotel room FEEL more LIKE HOME.

There are DEFINITELY some nights where the show is over, and you're on the bus or a HOTEL ROOM, and it's sort of a shock to GO from being in the atmosphere of a club or a theater and be at your own show to being by yourself in a hotel room.

I remember being in India one time where I saw people who were struggling to find FOOD at the bottom of a TRASH can, and then I walked into my HOTEL and saw people arguing over how the quality of food at the BUFFET wasn't good ENOUGH.

For the PAST nine years as MP of Rampur,I was STAYING at Modi HOTEL. It was a second HOME to me.

I can WALK through a hotel lobby and watch PEOPLE at the desk and SEE what they're doing. People don't look at me. They don't EVEN know I'm there.

After a gig I ALWAYS head back to the hotel, REMEMBERING granny's words of WISDOM. I CANCEL the late-night PIZZA and watch the Jonathan Ross show instead.
