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

Those who don't say what they mean will live and die by their own sword.

My kids have got to work themselves around my life, not the other way. That's how kids become brats, if you're there staring at them all the time going, 'Are you alright?'

We dragged English guitar music out of the gutter.

I don't have the genetic make-up of a frontman, but I'm learning how to do it.

All i would like to say is that I'm rich and you're not.

I know there's bands that might write something that sounds like The Smiths, and they'll go, 'Oh, it sounds like The Smiths, we've got to make it sound not like The Smiths.'
