If you heard my records and no one told you, I don't think you'd know whether it's a band or one guy.

I haven't thought about making a music film, but if I did, that would be a very interesting idea.

I was in Paris last year, where there's a great appreciation of many different aspects of African culture and of black culture. The music... the art... whatever... And I kind of went with that.

I find cooking to be the one thing that relaxes me. I don't get to do it often . . .

Oasis are not just influenced by the Beatles; they actually take stuff. Then they get praised.

The way I was raised and the people that I grew up around for the most part were very humble people, and I appreciate all that they taught me, and their energy and their magnanimity help keep me grounded.

I get a lot of joy from playing instruments, and I have a different personality on each instrument. I like to let that come out. I get kind of selfish.
