“I love the Beatles. I haven't named any kids after them but I still really love them. They were the first group that I was ever properly aware of.

“I love the Beatles. I haven't named any kids after them but I still really love them. They were the first group that I was ever properly aware of. In my early teens I would sometimes stay in and listen to the radio all day in the hope that I would catch a song by them that I'd never heard before and be able to tape it on my radio-cassette player.”
