Funk, I don't think I have anything to do with funk. I've never considered myself funky.

This ain't rock 'n' roll. This is genocide!

There's a good television programme called 'Disco 2.' It's quite good but again it's average, average. It's all on a down play. You know we've got this thing in England to be hip is to speak very down - like John Peel. And that just about sums up England. They don't realize when they talk like that, then that is what they represent - absolutely.

A lot of people provide me with quotes. They suggest all kinds of things to say and I do, really, because I'm not very hip at all.

I'm not sure whether it is me changing my mind, or whether I lie a lot.

Don't let me hear you say life takes you nowhere, angel.

Critics I don't understand. They get too intellectual. They're not very well-versed in street talk; it takes them longer to say it. So they have to do it in dictionaries and they take longer to say it.
