I never received any encouragement. My father would work nights and my mother would work during the day. We were expected to get a job with a trade.

Drugs and alcohol were ruling my life. I made a lot of bad decisions while I was drinking alcohol. The first thing I stopped was cigarettes and tobacco.

I grew up having to piss in a bucket ’cos there was no indoor shitter, and now I have these computerised Japanese super-loo things that have heated seats and wash and blow-dry your arse at the touch of a button. Give it a couple of years and I’ll have a bog with a robot arm that pulls out my turds, so I don’t have to strain.

When you’re in love, it’s not just about the messing around in the sack, it’s about how empty you feel when they’re gone.

I'm dyslexic, I have attention-deficit disorder, and I've got something like a hereditary tremor.

I advise that pregnant women do not come to my concerts.
