I'm gay and always have been, even when I was David Jones.

Hear this Robert Zimmerman, I wrote a song for you, about a strange young man called Dylan with a voice like sand and glue.

I think hip-hop is actually one of the most challenging things that's happened in music in a long time.

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.

I rate Morrissey as one of the best lyricists in Britain. For me, he's up there with Bryan Ferry.

I think it's rather a waste of time endlessly singing the same songs every night for a year, and it's just not what I want to do.

I feel that what I do is always contemporary with the society I'm living in... If I wanted to explain myself, that's how I'd explain myself: that I'm a diarist.
