I love comedy. I like to think that there's a sense of humor in some of my music - obviously not all of it.

I think comedy and music are both things that we need as human beings. I think that both art forms can touch people.

[Theresa May] is very sensible and I think that's a good thing at this point in time.

The more I think about sex, the better it gets!

I think I was just lucky to be brought up in a very musical family. My two older brothers were, and still are, very musical and very creative, and music was a big part of my life from a very young age, so it is quite natural for me to become involved in music in the way that I did.

If ever there's been somebody to hold as an icon of sheer determination and willpower, it's that guy [Stephen Hawking ], let alone any of the things he's done scientifically. I'm sure that's his driving force, but he's a miracle and an aspiration.

I just try to put myself in the sense of being a character, sometimes male. I suppose I just like the idea of trying to be different people coming from all kinds of different angles. Most of it was just from my imagination.
