Not everyone can say, 'I'm going to write a classic today.' If that was the case, we'd all be doing it.

I suppose I do get sad, but not for too long. I just look in the mirror and go, 'What a f***ing good-looking f*** you are.' And then I brighten up.

I find words really hard.

I respect the Stones but their songs are a pile of crap. As for U2, they don’t say a lot or seem like normal persons.

Yeah, I've mellowed, but not in the sense of liking Radiohead or Coldplay . I don't hate them, I don't wish they had accidents. I think their fans are boring and ugly and don't look like they're having a good time.

Being a lad is what I'm about.

I live for now, not for what happens after I die.
