I have always been fascinated by the concept of the villain and the hero being in one person.

There's a character that I play onstage, and I can't let him loose in the supermarket when I'm buying my beans on toast.

There's a difference between expectations and aspirations.

I want to make music that will make the blood surge in your veins, music that will get people up and dance.

I'd rather eat a cow-pat on a bun than a bloody McDonalds.

The Beatles were huge for me, ... I used to jump around the room to the red album, the one with all the early hits on it. It made you feel euphoric. It was a sensation I couldn't get from anything else, whether it was playing football, swimming or even seeing 'Star Wars.'

You can always have it better. If you try... [This is the right attitude:] Never to feel [completely] satisfied, always to want to do something better!
