I'm a great songwriter, but I'm not the most talented musician.

I despise hip hop. Loathe it. Eminem is an idiot and I find 50 Cent the most distasteful character I have ever crossed in my life. Eminem's new song about his kid - isn't it the most ridiculous piece of music you have ever heard in your life? I just don't like the dragging women around on dog leads and all that stuff

I hate Mourinho. He's a fool.

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

Producers like to record all the drums first, then they do the bass, then all the guitars, so you're constantly moving from one song to another.

I don't fall into the category of tortured artist. But it's not made me more or less anything.

I do think my old fella wasn't much of a... I don't remember him ever being a 'dad' dad. He was too busy working. It was a hard life, man.
