I grew up conservative because my mum was a conservative, and when I finally realized what conservatives were, I changed my mind immediately.

...I'm so over the tattoos and the T-shirts and rings through the noses. It's not pretty, it's not pleasant, it's not exciting. Please stop it now.

My mum always used to buy a record every Friday.

People who mock rap and say, "I don't like it," they should go and check out Kanye [West] in the studio rapping, or Marshall, Eminem, when he's in the studio. It's a phenomenon. Don't knock it until you've seen it. It may not be your cup of tea, but don't ridicule it.

Talk to each other. Never go to bed when you're angry with each other. Lady Antonia Frasier who was married to Harold Pinter said they never went to bed on an argument.

I want to do a musical movie. Like Evita, but with good music.

If you don't understand hip-hop, you just have to see it being recorded.
