I wanted to use a totally different part of my brain. It's quite scary at times. I went for learning to fly because it was most difficult of all. The insurance man just sat there and licked his lips when I told him.

I am quite fussy about clothes.

I'm very used to stages and dressing rooms. And dare I say it, much as I like being at home, I love the buzz of a new hotel room.

Well, I'm British. I'm proud to be British and I love this country. I'm going nowhere.

Every now and again I need to get away from everything. I'm quite a hidey-hole kind of a guy.

I don't watch myself on TV, I don't read the news clippings about me, so when people come up and say, 'What about that story last week?' I go, 'I didn't even know there was.'

I didn't get my first car until I was 22. It was a BMW 1602 and now I've got it back I'm waiting to restore it.
