I've got a fierce passion for politics but I can't stand the smarmy, hypocritical upper-middle-class dictator nation that prevails and has always prevailed in this country. I'm up for petrol bombers, mate, and fighting in the streets.

There's a difference between performing in Philadelphia to New York as much as a difference between playing in Luton and playing in San Francisco, y’know what I mean?

There's no drug in the world that can compare with playing music.

I fall in love with Britain every day, with bridges, buses, blue skies... but it’s a brutal world, man.

I've learnt that there's nothing in my day to day life or anything that I do that is in any way aimed at changing how I'm perceived or how I'm presented; it's completely impossible.

You want to dance. You want to sing. Yeah, that feeling, of course, is beyond recollection really.

If you've lost your faith in love and music, Oh the end won't be long...
