You'll find people who rib you about their age are petrified about getting old. It doesn't bother me.

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

I've never felt like I had anything important to say.

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

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 don't dislike rappers or hip-hop or people who like it. I went to the Def Jam tour in Manchester in the '80s when rap was inspirational. Public Enemy were awesome. But it's all about status and bling now, and it doesn't say anything to me.

Traditionally speaking, the three biggest twats in any band are the singer, the keyboardist and the drummer. I don't need to say anything else.
