You've got to be strong enough for love. It's very easy to be cool and cynical. It's very difficult to just let yourself go and be in love. You've got to be strong enough for that.

You can't be a mod and a rocker. You have to choose sides.

Those who don't say what they mean will live and die by their own sword.

Writing songs, that's what gets me going. Not the drugs or the sex or the rock'n'roll behaviour, it's the music.

Every song that I play I wrote by myself.

I like Chris Martin. I think he's a really great songwriter.

It's the first time I'm going to be on my own this Christmas and I'm really looking forward to not having any cards or decorations up. So I'll be in London, sit on my couch, arms folded, curtains drawn, having a drink.
