Losing people makes you realize you've got to grab life - not put things off.

I don't like lifts and will walk up 20 flights of stairs if I have to. Crowded rooms make me uncomfortable, too, although I can sing to a stadium full of thousands of people no bother.

An artist is an artist because he is not happy with the world, so he creates his own existence.

I don't know what 'home' or 'abroad' is any more.

I'll never get used to living without Mo, but the painful things that surround what happened to him aren't so painful any more - not so raw or so new.

I don't like fruit but I'm vegetarian, so eat a lot of veggies.

I visit English country churchyards where historical figures are buried.
