“I don't really like to be the guy in the white suit at the front.”

Interview with Selina Scott on West 57th Street (aired 12 December 1987)
Context: I had no ambition when I was a kid other than to play guitar and get in a rock 'n' roll band. I don't really like to be the guy in the white suit at the front. Like in the Beatles, I was the one who kept quiet at the back and let the other egos be at the front.
