I was making guitars and I was a sheet metal worker and if you ever see sheet metal workers' hands, you've never seen so many cuts in your life.

Rock n' roll seems to have changed society much more than any politician, I think it really has.

I've never wanted to be anyone other than who I am.

I used to take amphetamines until I realized that amphetamines didn't go with being a good singer.

When I sing, I try to live the song or live the emotion of the song. The space I'm in doesn't exist. It's another world.

We weren't wealthy but we definitely weren't poor. We were incredibly rich because there was a wonderful community in Shepherd's Bush, where I grew up. All my friends were into villainy and crime.

I love Adele. That's a lead singer; that's the real deal.
