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.

I'm not gonna give the British Government the joy of keeping taxing me. They don't tax art. And all my cars are just a collection of art.

I have to thank my mum for kicking me out at 16 and making me stand on my own two feet - that's how I got here.

I learn fast and I take note of what I've been told.

I can find every jacket under the sun that I like. But I cannot find trousers cut the way I want them. They're all really tight at the bottom. Nobody does a boot cut on a trouser leg. It drives me crazy.

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.

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