I got involved in a lot of controversy over the Paul Gascoigne incident,

[the critics] say that about every film - that it will be my last one. My next one, in Australia, will be my 30th.

I played with Robbie last week along with Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols. Most of the time I just have to stay out the way.

Puffy faces, beer bellies - I can`t afford to go that way. For the parts I play I`ve got to look respectable, lean and mean.

I bunked off school for eight days in a row to sit and watch Grease over and over.

I`ve always felt that people put me down, and I`d fight back. I played football 15 years, and nobody gave me any credit, and they never will do.

After everything that was said and written about my clash with Paul, I was really worried about going to St James` Park [on February 20] to face the Newcastle fans.
