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.

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

Once the music gets in you, it doesn't leave you.

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

I was walking along and this chair came flying past me, and another, and another, and I thought, man, is this gonna be a good night.
