I just don't think of myself as a star. This is what I do for a living; I'm fortunate that I make ends meet.

If it's the beginning of something - like an album, I'm working on the lyrics and I take a walkman and headset.

To be honest, I couldn't hold a conversation with anybody in any language other than English - and that's a struggle sometimes!

I just figured if I'm going to call myself a songwriter throughout my life, then writing for most genres of music is something I should at least attempt.

Like last night I had a sequence with a gun and, to be honest, for me to be threatening with a gun and not be comical is quite hard.

There's something perverse isn't there, if you're playing in front of 100,000 people and there's 2000 people down the front who don't like, you think: what is it that they don't like?

This stupid sensitivity! But then women like sensitivity.
