But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing.

I'd love to follow the Tour de France one day. It's a really exciting spectacle. I've only seen it once as it was coming into Paris and that was very exciting for me. I have memories of that.

I like to piece together different guitarists, unlikely bedfellows. You have Jonny Greenwood playing next to Nile Rodgers on the same track, so it becomes like an orchestra of sounds.

And Mary J. Blige, she's got all these fur coats and hats and stuff. She's good; I like her.

I like the name Atomic Kitten. It's so great.

Sometimes you're quite fortunate, being on the stage, getting to meet people like Salvador Dali.

Words can be very powerful. I find them very difficult.
