As long as ugly people are not on TV, you should only ever have interesting people on TV.

I have a long history with Soho: even when I was at art college, I came down to Soho to work in the summer.

I think the older I get the more creative I get, I don't have the distractions that I had when I was younger.

Don't sing a song you can't carry off, like some 16-year-old kid singing 'My Way'. That song's not for you. You haven't lived that.

Sometimes I ask myself, "Should I be out in a club?" But it's about realising I don't need to be always chasing after being who I was 20 or 30 years ago.

I don't really have anything against Will Young or Gareth Gates.

I'd always wanted to write a song about a leather jacket and how wearing it makes you feel. I love leather jackets, and I've got a big collection of them.
