Live Aid did feel like one hour's rehearsal after several years, but to be part of Live Aid was wonderful. It reall was.

I deal in emotions. It's the harmonic side that's important. That's the side I expected to be much further along on than I am now. That just means to say that I've got to keep at it.

You don't find geniuses in street musicians, but that doesn't mean to say you can't be really good.

I don't know whether I'll reach 40. I don't know whether I'll reach 35. I can't be sure about that. I am bloody serious. I am very, very serious. I didn't think I'd make 30.

I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.

I don't like being stuck in one situation, day to day.

I can listen to all different sorts of music. I don't really care about The Next Big Thing.
