Music is a thing that changes people's lives. It has the capacity to make young people's lives better.

Why is the rest of the world so overcrowded? Nobody lives in America! We're all squashed up on top of each other in London.

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.

The charts are only relevant when you're top of them!

Frontmen come alive when they come onstage.

I just think Radiohead are f-in' miserable bastards.

I absolutely loved being famous. It was all great, up until the point when it wasn't.
