My parents both came from very poor working-class families.

I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.

I was at Live Aid the original, looking like Rolf Harris for some reason. I had a really long beard that day for some reason.

By the time I was in my early teens, we were able to move into a much more middle-class area. I had a comfortable adolescence.

I find it difficult enough as it is to keep some kind of normality in my life. I enjoy this experience, but I don't know where I'm going to take my career.

There's not another drug in life that I'm glad I took but grass.

I probably owe an apology to fans that have been supportive and have not wanted to believe any of this was true. It takes a little bit of the sheen off of the mystique.
