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

Solo artists are generally totally insane. Elton John? Slightly eccentric. George Michael? He's mad as custard.

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

Even in the nineties, when it was mad and there were photographers all around the house, it never occurred to me to send someone else out to get cigarettes. It took me five minutes - went for a walk, gave a wave, went back inside.

Slade was never pretentious. It was just music to them. Pop, rock, soul....it was all the same to Slade. They wrote great songs. And, besides, I'd like to raid their wardrobe.

I can make going to the dry-cleaners last an entire day, and the dry cleaners might be 150 yards from my front door. You might find it hard to believe, but I am bone-idle lazy.

It is hard to be modest at times like these so I won't even try...you are all shite!
