Music is split up now into little pockets.

Sometimes we have criticism that is very constructive.

I think it's part of being English, particularly if you are middle-class - you're always looking to be reminded that you are no good and you are always actually embarrassed about being successful.

I'm competitive with anyone who writes a good song - I don't care if it's a band or solo artist or whoever.

Anything where we're the butt of the joke, no one tells us about it.

Well, I don't like the word 'rock star,' the two words, 'rock star.' Not even 'soft rock star. Not even limestone star. I don't like those words.

Anyone who criticises me for talking about fair trade is a few pebbles short of a beach. Because everyone should care about it, just like everyone should care about the environment, because we all live here.
