I know without our fans and the devotion of our fans we wouldn't be here. I don't mean to put them down, but I'm just stating a fact that it is hard to play to people that see you all the time and it takes a lot of fun out of it in some ways.

I'm surrounded by good people. That's the measure of a good life. All the rest is flotsam.

I live 50 miles from London and we've got some of the highest levels of teenage and childhood poverty in the country. It's disgusting. Just because it's a rural area, it gets forgotten.

No, I was two years older than the other guys. I was a war baby. My family were a lot poorer than they were. I'd had to fight too hard for anything I had in my life and to smash things up for me.

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

Nikki Lamborn has the best female rock voice since Janis Joplin and I know what I’m talking about, I knew Janis.

Imagine if you could go watch Mozart today, even if it's the last, crappiest show he ever played. What a thrill that would be.
