I think these days a lot of the younger generation feels that the world owes them something. But you've got to get off your backside and you've got to do all the crap stuff, too.

My place in Scotland is in the middle of nowhere, so you've just got a keyboard, guitar, a little drum machine and you know if you can work stuff out like that, if you can hammer out songs that sound good just with those three things and a voice, you're on your way.

I know all we're doing is travelling without moving. Speed freak faster than a speedin' bullet, slow down. If I don't, I might just lose it, locked up. You've got me honey, locked up under heavy brakin', yeah. You know I've got to hang on, drive too fast, I might be last.

I am quite fussy about clothes.

I consider myself very lucky indeed to have had the career I have. I listen to the radio now and you can't tell artists apart.

I'm 41 now and the right knee has got a bit of a twinge in it. I get about the stage a little less now.

I may be the prat in the hat, that's cool, but I drive an Aston Martin DB5.
