New York is my favorite city in the world.

My favorite album would have to be something from The Beatles.

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.

I am a tender, beautiful and loving guy that happens to slap a photographer now and then because they get in my way.

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 don't know what any of my tunes are about, they're just out there. I'm not good with words. I just say the first thing that comes into my head

Americans want grungy people, stabbing themselves in the head on stage. They get a bright bunch like us, with deodorant on, they don't get it. I'm 24 years old, I've got a load a money, what am I gonna do, sit at home and twiddle me thumbs? No. I'm gonna go out and 'ave it.
