I realize now that taking drugs was like taking an aspirin without having a headache.

The best thing I ever saw was a man who loved his wife.

My mum died when I was 14. That is a kind of strange age to lose a mother. John lost his mum when he was 17.

I meet so many people that just sort of say, "I want to thank you for your music. It really helped me" or "It changed my life."

I saw that Meryl Streep said, I just want to do my job well. And really, that's all I'm ever trying to do.

When a war is over I think it's a cowardly thing to leave the war behind you in minefields that hit women and children and the most vulnerable. Imagine the war is finished and you go to work and there are snipers shooting at you. Imagine taking your kids to the beach and you find that the beach is blowing up beneath you. Like there's nowhere safe.

I definitely did look up to John. We all looked up to John. He was older and he was very much the leader; he was the quickest wit and the smartest.
