I don't really believe in political art. I feel in my heart the purpose of art transcends cultural and class and politics. I think something like the Sistine Chapel is something that goes beyond just being a Christian thing. It transcends its Christianity and becomes sort of a universal beauty. And I think that's true of music and art and literature.

I feel that film is inevitably the medium of the future. It has been for years, decades, but more so now than ever.

I'm always surprised that people make such a fuss about Italian tailoring and French design houses. I think traditional British tailoring for men is so good. Everything's the right cut, the fabrics are good.

I like to have books around to give me ideas-to get the verbal part of my brain to start working.

I do think British tailoring is the best. French people hate me when I say that, but I do think it's true.

I like songs that have lots of different parts in them, an intro, an outro and a bridge.
