When I was 9 years old, I wanted to be the baritone sax player in the Little Richard band.

And I saw the sax line-up that he had behind him and I thought, I'm going to learn the saxophone. When I grow up, I'm going to play in his band. So I sort of persuaded my dad to get me a kind of a plastic saxophone on the hire purchase plan.

It would be positively boring if minds were in tune.

I never heard so many kids talk about just doing anything to be famous. I mean, yeah, fame is part of the deal when you're a kid and you think, I wanna go into music, but everybody that I knew was really doing it because of their love for it. I don't see so much of that anymore.

You can't go on stage and live - it's false all the way. I can't stand the premise of going out in jeans and a guitar and looking as real as you can in front of 18,000 people. I mean, it's not normal!

I probably also wanted to be black at that particular time [ 9 years old] as well.

The best DJs in the world know how to pull in music from all over the place and make it work as a cohesive whole.
