When I was 14, I saw someone getting their face and wrists slashed with a knife in a pub in Catford. Nobody lifted a finger. That's when I realised that violence wasn't funny. At all.

I could get an audience into my world and if you can do that, they'll go with you not all the way, but a lot of the way.

I visited a friend in Leicester recently. It was 4am and we all ran around in a circle, six of us. It’s the most fun I’ve had since i was seven. And I thought: it’s not about drink, or drugs, or fancy clubs. It’s about running around in your socks, changing direction in a front room in Leicester.

Reality depresses me. I need to find fantasy worlds and escape in them.

You know the black bits in bananas? Are they tarantulas' eggs?

When I was a little kid I always wanted to be ginger. My best friend was ginger and he was pretty cool.

You can't just go gay, its not like buying a ladder.
