Basically, I live to do gigs.

Christina Aguilera has her own style, so good on her. I don't think anyone's every told her to put on some leather chaps and get her noonie out. She's an amazing singer but a lot of her music I can't even hear.

I've got a crush on my backing singer.

I told Missy [Elliot] I couldn't believe how much she has done as a woman in a male-led arena and that she's an inspiration to me. When I got into the lift back to my room to get changed and go home, I broke down in tears.

Here in England, everyone's a pop star, innit, whereas in America they believe in the term artist.

The more people see of me, the more they'll realize that all I'm good for is making tunes.

I listen to music that is of our time and I just get angry.
