I love the NFL. I don't have a team per se, but I'm into it.

In business, you can have one massive success that earns $50 million overnight, and that's it. You're successful. End of story. But in the music business, you have to keep on doing it.

I hate that Alex [James] and Damon [Albarn]. I hope they catch AIDS and die.

The thing about bands is everybody wants to be the next Oasis, and that doesn't mean slogging it out around the toilet [gigs], it means, "Give me the check, I need to go to the Levis shop and I need a 1960s Gibson."

My wife would say I'm not romantic at all, but I would say that I'm the ultimate romancer because I write about... life being brilliant.

I've never felt like I had anything important to say.

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