I do rock and roll. Sort of. With a lot of drama. I don't know what I do. I do what I do, you know.

I've just turned 58. Right.

Well, I didn't think I would. You didn't think you'd live that long? No way. I thought, I mean, I thought broken English was the end. I thought after that I would die. Yeah. You could have knocked me down with a feather when I had to make another record. And Broken English was, what, 1979? Yeah. Right. I thought that was it. I thought, go out in a blaze of glory. Off you go.

And why did you decide to stop after all these years? Well, I've been wanting to stop for about a year because I've got the beginning of emphysema. And my mother died of emphysema and alcoholism. So I kind of didn't really want history to repeat itself. So I did everything I could. I went to a hypnotist. I read Alan Carr. I did all these things. Nothing worked.

Then just before I came to America, I got really bad bronchitis. Really bad. And I could not even think of smoking. So I didn't. I stopped. And I'm using a patch, of course. I'm beginning to not need the patch now. It's sort of getting easier. I've done this whole interview without a patch. They make me sick. They actually are rather like bad speed, the patches. But, you know, time went by.

The bronchitis got better. I've had some terrible moments of craving. But my doctor in Paris, it's very like giving up drugs, you know. They don't last long, the cravings. They last about five minutes, so you just find something else to do. You talk to somebody, you put your makeup on, you do anything. You wash your knickers, anything you can think of.

And the craving will pass, and then it's gone.
