I've grown to love California: It's the dream of every English musician to come here and work in the sunshine. To walk up Sunset Boulevard, knowing you're going to make music - that's it.

I don't like John Terry and I never have. He's got funny eyes and he's a cry baby. He's also a Cockney.

Do you ever look at the sky and think, I'm glad I'm alive? After I heard System of a Down, I thought, I'm actually alive to hear the shittiest band of all time. Which is quite something when you think about it. Of all the bands that have gone before and all the bands that'll be in the future, I was around when the worst was around.

I wasn't put on this earth to amass money or personal wealth. I was put on this earth to play guitar and write songs.

I've got a fleet of cars and I've never had a driving license, ever.

American sports are quite masculine. And football - although it's still played by men all over the world - football compared to American football is quite feminine in its artistry. And there's no padding. It's America's loss, though.

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