Punishing people for listening to music is exactly the wrong way to protect the music business.

So in 1987 I gave up all animal products and became a vegan. Simply so that I could eat and live in accordance with my beliefs that animals have their own lives, that they're entitled to their own lives and that contributing to animal suffering is something that I don't want to be a part of.

My goal with everything that I do is to present things in a way that I would want to see if I was in the audience or buying the record.

Who wakes up when they're worth £120million and says, 'I'm unhappy today but if only I had an extra £2million!'

There are a lot of musicians who are still desperately trying to pretend that it's 1998 and by having a huge marketing campaign, they somehow believe that they can sell 10 million records. That's delusional. No one sells 10 million records. The days of musicians getting rich off of selling records are done.

If Nirvana had remained a small, underground punk rock band, Kurt Cobain would still be alive. And he'd probably be living in Seattle, getting kind of fat and balding, be relatively happy and producing records for other people.

I feel that one of the reasons Brexit happened was that people stayed at home rather than going to the polls.
