Personal Life
On 14 April 2009 The Sun newspaper reported that Tom Clarke had purchased a 1972 Jaguar E Type because it reminded him of his grandfather. The singer said "in 1972 my granddad used to work in Jaguar’s Brown’s Lane plant in Coventry and I wanted a car he’d worked on - whenever I look at the car I think of him".
In January 2010 Gigwise reported that Clarke had acquired a "ridiculous farm" and was taking a short break from music to decorate. Clarke stated that the band was rehearsing and was writing new Enemy material prolifically.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“The most useful man in the most useful world, so long as only commodity was served, would remain unsatisfied. But, as fast as he sees beauty, life acquires a very high value.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
