I always wanted to be a Muppet.

My dad was in the Army. The Army's not great pay, but, you know, we moved from Army patch to Army patch wherever that was. The Army also contributed to sending me off to boarding school.

To get up on stage with a band is fantastic. To play songs to an audience is mindblowing.

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

I used to have an eBay addiction. I was really good at selling stuff. My sister needed to get to a funeral in Ireland - the airlines were on strike - so I listed her on eBay: damsel in distress. Guys were outbidding guys to be the hero and help her. A guy who owned a helicopter won.

I always wanted to be a Muppet. So when 'Sesame Street' approached me to guest star, I thought: 'I'm going to be on this!' It's pretty incredible stuff.

Being British, I don't really have a way of expressing myself in conversation. Music transcends language.
