Most of the time is with the family. Most of the time, is all the time. When we work it's a very intensive chunk of time. We work for 12 hours a day, 14 hours a day is common. And we'll do that for a few months and then we get to relax a little bit.
I've spent so much of my career working intermittently, being busy and then with large swaths of time off, that it became the norm.
I've been busy and not busy, and busy is better. I've been busy, but I went through a lot of periods where it was lean for a lot of times.
My mum always says work goes in waves: you have a good spell and then it dips.
Actually when we stopped New Order I was busier than ever. The only gaps have been while we've been writing.
Acting is a very strange industry in that it flows in these weird ways, I'll be so busy for 6 months and then nothing for a couple months, so it's hard for me to focus and stuff.
Life comes in clusters, clusters of solitude, then a cluster when there is hardly time to breathe.
One day I'm not busy at all; the next day I have work for months - that's kind of the way it works!
