Sometimes people mishear my lyrics and think a song's about something it isn't.

I haven't actually seen a Lady Gaga tour, but I do think she's very good.

I don't think it's a very nice idea [making biopic] at all. I don't think my life is that interesting.

Some of the best pop music ever has come out of the States.

When I'm writing I've been playing something for a couple of hours and I'm almost in a trance. At two or three in the morning you can actually see bits of inspiration floating about and grab them.

Artists shouldn't be made famous. They have this huge aura of almost god-like quality about them, just because their craft makes a lot of money. And at the same time it is a forced importance... It is man-made so the press can feed off it.

You have to try and embrace it all and everyone who represents that change because it is happening.
