I was mainly raised by a working mum who didn't have much time or inclination for making food. So I had three or four basic meals: fish fingers and a tomato; a packet scotch egg and a tomato; pasta with a tin of tomatoes; and extra mild plastic-y cheddar chopped into cubes with bits of cucumber.

I really hate bureaucracy and the idea that I'm not a free person.

I'd love to say that I could write political songs, but I don't feel clued-up enough.

I try to stick to a certain diet all the time, and then when I feel like a reward, I have it. I try to stick to no dairy, no sugar, no wheat.

I'm not that materialistic. I like nice clothes and that, but I don't spend lots of money on stuff. I'm not really into TV, I don't have an iPod, I've got a gramophone.

If I see something that inspires me, I'll dress like it.

When I do my shows, it's really cross-generational. Sometimes there's three generations there.
