I don't think people need to know what colour socks I'm wearing today; I don't think people need to know what shower gel I'm using. There's too much information in the world, and there's no magic or mystery anymore.

My first instinct when I write songs is not a negative one. It's something positive... Everything I've ever done has some form of hope in it, I think.

I do all the work so it's only right that I should get the most money. Plus I am the most handsome.

I don't like John Terry and I never have. He's got funny eyes and he's a cry baby. He's also a Cockney.

The charts are only relevant when you're top of them!
