House music is about love, and lots of hip hop is about hate and intolerance, so in that respect, it's not good at all.

I'm beginning to think that you should only be allowed to serve two terms, before madness sets in.

When West End Girls came out on import, I was a student at Liverpool University. I'd go to a club in Liverpool and it would come on, and I'd be really embarrassed.

Chart positions aren't the be all and end all.

I used to play works in progress to people, but now I wait 'til it's finished, because you make excuses all the time: 'Well, there's gonna be an orchestra on it.' Rather than make excuses, wait 'til it's finished, and then they can say they don't like it.

I don't think you ever know in yourself whether you have gone mad. You exist in a bubble. There comes a point where you suddenly feel not really a part of the world, you're just passing through.

Using music to promote hate seems to be the bastardisation of music to me.
