Los diferentes trabajos en los que he estado, después de mi graduación, han sido de 100 y 120 horas a la semana, especialmente empezando con Nubank. Básicamente vivía en el lugar de trabajo. Empezamos la compañía en una casa de dos pisos. Mi cofundador vivía en el segundo piso. Yo básicamente dormía en el primer piso, o pasaba muchas noches en el primer piso. No salimos de esa casa por seis o 12 meses porque trabajábamos como locos.

I’ve loved all my jobs, even when I worked at Burger King.

The back end of a horse in panto in Newcastle in 1979.

Either shredding duck in a Chinese restaurant, or Oblivion.

The contentment I have now.

My brother Pete passing on in 2005.

Shakespeare said, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so” – I think that’s true.

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.

Gerry Adams, because he’s got incredible integrity and vision, and he’s had to put up with so much flak.

Insanity. I am on a recovery programme – clean from drugs and drink for many years – and if I stopped doing all that stuff I’d go crazy pretty quick and pick up drugs again, because I was a real fucking addict.
