Kylie Minogue is just a demonic little idiot as far as I'm concerned. She gets cool dance producers to work with her for some bizarre reason, I don't know why. She doesn't even have a good name. It's a stupid name, Kylie, I just don't get it.

Progression is going forwards. Going backwards is regression. Going sideways is just gression.

Next year I hope to get a stalker or two because I don't believe you've arrived until you get a stalker.

I've always been into guitars. We want to put keyboards on, but keyboard players don't look cool onstage, they just keep their heads down. There has never been a cool keyboard player, apart from Elton John.

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

Solo artists are generally totally insane. Elton John? Slightly eccentric. George Michael? He's mad as custard.

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.
