I remember certain lines and whose they are.

I'm not nearly as outrageously brave as many of my rascals that I write. But I think the rascal spirit must reside in me somewhere.

The Rascals are something else. They're up there with the Beatles, and Stones and Byrds. That level of musicality. They have a real chemistry. It is like magic.

The bad boys get all the best lines.

'Learn your lines.' I want that on my gravestone.

My dad is kind of a rascal, like in a Dickensian sense. He just goes from career to career.

I deliberate over the lyrics; I really do. I'll come up with one line in a day, and then it might be a couple of days before I come up with the rhyming line. It's never been easy for me.

I was a hard worker, and I always knew my lines.

I learn the lines that JK Rowling or whoever writes them, and say them.

Lines are very difficult to learn.
