With every song that I write, I compare it to the Beatles. The thing is, they only got there before me. If I'd been born at the same time as John Lennon, I'd have been up there.

If you don't want to be the biggest band in the world, you may as well pack it in.

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.

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.

Anything that's of any use, famous people get hold of it and take it for themselves and it gets a bad rap.

If everyone in the music business were brutally honest about what their intentions were then you could sort things out, but it's all smoke and mirrors.

You and I are gonna live forever...
