People say I seem very negative about new music - well, if somebody asks me what I think of Keane, I'll tell 'em. I don't like 'em. I'll obviously take it a step too far and grossly insult the keyboard player's mam or summat, but I'm afraid that's just me.

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

Every album I've ever been involved in, on the day that it came out I believed in it.

Paul McCartney, one of the best songwriters of all time, has only produced manure for the past 25 years.

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my Mum. I know I've got Irish blood because I wake up everyday with a hangover.

When you're the cash cow that lays the golden goose egg, people are always going to cheer you on, whatever.

I'm not interested in making money. It's just that with my talent, I'm cursed with it.
