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.

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 think it is easy for people to build up an image of what I'm about. I consider myself quite a nice chappy really. I'm decent to people, I stay in and listen to Radio 4.

Now, I'm the most impatient person that ever walked the planet. However: for the best, you always wait.

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

From 16 to 21 when I was self sufficient and working in factories. I packed batteries, boxes, and make-up with heroin addicts. I have to thank my mum for kicking me out at 16 and making me stand on my own two feet.

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