If the way I see the world is mad, then fantastic.

I don't ever want to get to the point where I don't think about death! You've got to swim in it, learn from it - embrace it!

I think I've learned a lot on the vocal side of things.

I'm not one of those freaks who can't see anything past 1977.

There's always one character, I think, in every town who's the obsessive who steals money to go and buy records.

'Bitter Sweet Symphony' is one of the biggest hip-hop records of all time once you actually analyse it.

A classic song is timeless. You'll never outlive a classic song. I'll never put The Beatles 'In My Life' on one day and say, 'That doesnt move me any more.'

The music industry wants safe rock stars, people who are totally homogenised.

I want to entertain and inspire.

As a musician, I don't wanna put out political soundbites.
