He told The Guardian that he took it up after taking a workshop in 1969. Because girls had their tops off, naturally.

They made me have lots of vodka and cranberry juice in remembrance of what a nasty piece of work I was being. Now if I find myself making a big mistake I have to force myself to drink that stuff to remind me not to be such an idiot!
