I don't mind not being cool.

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.

You can sometimes get your own feelings across more strongly if you pretend that you're singing it from someone else's angle. But it's always from me. It's just a new way of framing it.

You gotta wear the right trousers if you're gonna be a rock star.

You know, it's possible for two humans to be in a relationship without there needing to be some public reason for that relationship.

Nothing matters except life and the love you make.

When I'm 40, too old to be a rock star, I plan to go back to college to study classical music.
