I don't tolerate liars. When somebody lies to me, that's really, like, just unbearable.

I love pop music. It's not easy to write a good pop song. It may be easier to put out a fake jazz album, as Sting does from time to time.

I love books, and all the best ones are people analysing their own emotions. You can learn from that.

Having a birthday cake squashed into your face by young kids? Delicious. I always don a Santa suit at Christmas. Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.

I'm not limited to categories or genres. Anything human beings come up with fascinates me. If a three-legged idiot like me can dance to it, then that's all well and fine.

There's many, many ways to write a song. But generally, sitting down at a table and writing is not one of them.

I hate death; it takes people away from you. You're left feeling rudderless.
