I'll have the music, and then I'll just turn the microphone on, press Play and Record and sing. And whatever comes out ends up being the melody.

I'm much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely.

I didn't become a commercially successful artist by design, and actually I think that commercially successful just means, if you analyse it, that a lot of people like you. It's become a dirty word, and I don't necessarily think it needs to be.

To be honest, producing records interests me less at the moment and I really don't want to get involved in album projects that are going to take up a lot of time

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?

I can't remember much about the early flights, except that it was ages before we got into First Class.
