I like L.A., but I shouldn't live there.

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

I will be putting out a fragrance - I'm following in the great steps of Puff Daddy.

At home I don't really have any drum machines or anything like that, I just have a piano and a cassette machine, an old-fashioned one, an old relic which I've always used.

Much as I love the northeast, I didn't want to spend my life there. I wanted to experiment. Savour everything you can while you're here! Touring, seeing the world... That in itself gives you a different perspective.

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.

I can never predict what's going to happen.
