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 first came to London when I was 22 and working as a roadie. Having watched the 'News At Ten' all my life, I thought Big Ben was going to be massive, but I was underwhelmed.

It is hard to be modest at times like these so I won't even try...you are all shite!

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.

It's a sad state when more people retweet than buy records.

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

There's enough music in the world. There are enough rock stars.
