My way of thinking as I approach any human being on this planet is, 'What are you doing now?' That's what interests me. I don't come at anybody with a whole bunch of assumptions.

I like lime-flavoured yoghurt. The end. There is no religion. It’s a man-made fabrication. Once you understand that, you’ll be a happier individual. Atheism is as pointless as satanism.

I love discordancy. It makes people ill at ease and wakes up a part of their brain that's normally asleep.

When you come from desperate poverty, and that's exactly what I come from, you know that nonsenses are not to be tolerated. I'm not sure who gains from chaos, but I know it's not the poor folks in the council flats. The politics of vindictiveness is never, ever anything like a solution.

I always find the mirror in the dressing room is where the best artists are.

Books are like my one and only joy.

It's nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I'm bloody close.
