I'm embarrassed when I see Brits abroad; they have their tops off, wear flip flops, and shout at the top of their voices.

I hate that Alex [James] and Damon [Albarn]. I hope they catch AIDS and die.

Writing songs, that's what gets me going. Not the drugs or the sex or the rock'n'roll behaviour, it's the music.

You're asking if I'm happy? I've got 87 million in the bank, I've got a Rolls Royce, I've got 3 stalkers, I'm about to go on the board at Manchester City, I'm part of the greatest band in the world. Am I happy with that? No, I'm not! I want more!

I'm a massive fan of the Stones, and I don't think anybody should deny them the right to carry on making music. I just wish they wouldn't wear leggings.

I sold my soul for the second time, cause' the man don't pay me.

It's a sad state when more people retweet than buy records.
