"Really, [my life] was going nowhere. The only thing I saw before that was that I wanted to be a landscape gardener. I'd been playing around with groups but I left. I never had a penny and I was in debt and I just never did anything, you know. I was doing this job gardening and I was thinking I really like working, I really like this job, but then I met Dave and felt I had to take another chance."

Mick Ronson, Circus, August 1975
