Time heals nothing, it merely rearranges our memory.

I became famous so quickly and so young - it was daunting. I was immature and I used to say some really stupid things in interviews. I never smiled on stage so I looked really serious, but it was because I hated my teeth and was incredibly nervous.

I think any song should sound good just played on a solitary instrument with the vocal. If you have those basics you have all you need. The production then just polishes that idea into the finished thing.

I'm not good at happy, lightweight kind of music. I'm not really good at pop music. "Cars" is probably the only true pop song I ever wrote. I wish I could write more, but I'm not very good at it.

It seems no matter what you say and how politically correctly and carefully you say it, you offend someone. Or at least I always do.

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

I think if you are creative then it's an unstoppable thing. It just keeps coming throughout your entire life.
