We see differences in people and seem to be afraid of people. The black or white or gay or straight - I don't necessarily look for differences but for similarities. We need to be looking out for each other.

I try to tell one lie in every interview. It keeps people I know amused when they read the article.

I have been told by people that I should not be seen clubbing with good-looking women, but I can't see why not. Why be a pop star otherwise?

If you get up on stage and brag, I don't think that's very brave. It's braver to get up and take your clothes off. And I do that every night.

I am not into fashion. I just like being able to buy my mates dinner.

I write songs about my own experiences. You can't lie to yourself. You can't pose to yourself.

The song is about love, life, fear and hope... and more than anything, you... and me...
