I'm hopeless at small talk and have a problem making eye contact.

I've always considered myself to be fiercely patriotic. I love Britain - its history and the down-to-earth attitude people have.

When you decide to do this kind of music then you just accept the facts.

Time heals nothing, it merely rearranges our memory.

I'd been a Bowie fan before punk and used to get no end of trouble. I was always getting knocked about and having to run up the street, getting chased by people. It was horrible.

I don't believe in sharing my money. If I go out and work my nuts off and make some money, I don't feel that I should have to share it with my community.

When I was a kid it was big news when someone flew around the world in a little aeroplane, but nobody cared when I did it. Then, to rub salt into my wounds, the customs people ripped my aeroplane to pieces, looking for stuff.
