Yes I have had a tan, actually. I went to Los Angeles and got one there, but it didn't make it back to Britain. You're not allowed to come through customs with a tan.

You can't help but feel that the Chinese people are a subspecies.

To me you are a work of art, and I would give you my heart - that's if I had one.

I lie a lot - it's really useful.

I find that it isn't wise to attempt to judge people on their public persona, and even on the music they make. Because I've met so many people whose music I cannot stand, and they're very nice. At the same time, I've met people whose music I've loved, and they're not the person you've invested all this emotion in.

I am stuck in the dream of an album that sells well not because of marketing, but because people like the songs.

Now this might disturb you, but I find I'm OK by myself; and I don't need you or your benevolence to make sense.
