In the Sixties people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, people take Prozac to make it normal.

Every time I go to Africa, I see the future. I see what the Western world is going to become. It's a very futuristic place.

The whole Gorillaz concept is one for mavericks; it's a way for people who never have a chance to work together being able to ally behind the cartoons.

Each individual has their own opinions about whether war is an answer to any problems. Personally I think it's a waste of time, but I think more importantly, that it's is an issue that we haven't had any say in. That's why I feel so strongly about it. I don't feel like we've really been given any choice in this matter. I think if you had a referendum tomorrow, Tony Blair would have no choice but to call off the war.

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.
