I'd rather spend my time looking at the sky than listening to Whitney Houston.

My earliest memories are sitting on the beach at Blackpool, and I know that if I went back, it would be horrible. I know what Blackpool's like - it's nothing like I imagined it was as a child.

I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.

In all relationships, there are always aching holes and that's where the impossible wishes come into it.

In some cases, I quite like irritating people who need to be irritated.

I hardly ever listen to any of our old stuff now. Once the songs have been recorded and put on to vinyl they become someone else's entertainment, not mine.

If I book a hotel it's actually very funny. It's very nice to be a genuine Mr Smith.
