Well, as resources inevitably disappear [in Africa], people have to make do with a lot less. You have to be much more ingenious with a lot less, and accept that you can't get your perfect tuna sandwich on a street corner.

If you don't see something as a career but as an important part of your life, you don't know how you're going to feel about it.

My guaranteed way of sending myself into deep depression is to read music trade papers and watch MTV.

Yeah. You've seen The Sun today; I've got myself a big house, settled down. Apart from the odd night out with the New Fathers' Club, I'm a family man now.

I'm slightly ambivalent to the whole relationship between the whole advertising world and music. I think sometimes it works and sometimes it's a really bad mismatch. I think on this occasion its fine because the iPod is like your own mini-library and that can't be a bad thing. It promotes eclecticism and that's very much what we are about so it's a good relationship.

The things that make me happy most are my family and working.

I've always known I'm incredibly special. All my life. You know? It's not a big deal.
