I just dress like... I'm an old black man. Sorry! Like I'm an old Jewish black man. I just dress like it's still the '50s.

Music is the only thing that will give and give and give and not take.

I don't listen to a lot of new stuff. I just like the old stuff. It's all quite dramatic and atmospheric. You'd have an entire story in song. I never listen to, like, white music - I couldn't sing you a Zeppelin or Floyd song.

I'm always happy to blow up any misconceptions that people have about stage school cos everyone thinks it's really nasty there but it's not.

I don't care what people think about me. Never did, never will. Life is too short to be worrying about that shit.

I'm not very ambitious at all.

When you're around kids you can be a little kid yourself and pretend that life is magic and you don't have to be one of those sweaty people going to work every day.
