I'm fascinated by what people will do to each other. Actually, I'm sort of interested in the gory details of life.

You can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been, it's all been a pack of lies.

Catering on planes, like on British Rail, is a standing joke, but I don't really have a problem with it. I don't quite know what people expect.

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.

On the day of the show, I sit down with someone that speaks very good English and someone who speaks the local language very well and work out what I'm going to say.

You know, a song is like a kid. You bring it up. And sometimes something you thought was going to be fantastic, by the time it's finished, is a bit of a disappointment...Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.
