I'm a bit of lunatic with shoes and jackets and jeans. It's just how I am.

I've always looked at shoes as being immensely beautiful things.

Most of America don't even listen to music probably. They just go raccoon hunting or something.

There were some extremely good teachers there that were great artists really in their own right. It was actually very hard to concentrate on getting down to going any work being an art student especially when it's a flighty thing at best.

With my daughter, who at the time was one, my domestic life needed to take more precedent and really with my own self I needed to develop quite a bit more. So that put Blur down the list of priorities quite a lot by the time I came to thinking about it.

I think it's better if blokes can admit that they can have crushes on other blokes. I've probably had crushes but never really sexual crushes on men.

It's the clothes that influence the music I'm going to play.
