I’d have stuck with the original Dexys Midnight Runners look we started in 1978, which became known as the New Romantic look a couple of years later. Our management and record label talked us out of it. Later, Duran Duran and Spandau came out with that look and that made us look old-fashioned.
I’d probably take out a lot of my 20s, when I was rude, annoying and a brat.
I would put the brain that I have now into my 20-year-old body.
To be born independently wealthy.
Handing out leaflets for a dry cleaner’s, because no one wanted them and, if people did take them, they just threw them on the floor.
Not investing in bitcoin.
I always relate love to happiness.
Some of my old teachers for disrupting lessons. I was the class clown.
