I'm hugely self-critical in the morning.

I don't have any authority to talk about the domestic policies of America. But as an outsider, I am mystified by the fact that you are encouraged to buy a gun, but if you use it for the purpose that it is expressly designed for, you get the death penalty. That aspect of America is kind of mystifying.

There's that kind of song, "Whoah baby, I love you," which doesn't have a visual element, but a very strong emotional element, and these are the great songs to me - those ones that you put them on and they just make you feel great, or whatever.

My records are basically a litany of complaints against the world, and I'm quite like that in real life as well.

I always thought my records were number one; it's just the charts didn't think so.

I don't feel I'm thrown around by the winds of taste and fashion.

Hamlet got a gun now.
