Congratulations to Prince Charles for banning foie gras from all his functions.

The Smiths was an incredibly personal thing to me. It was like launching your own diary to music.

Bring me the head of Elton John . . . which is one instance in which meat would not be murder, if it were served on a plate.

Popular music is slowly being laid to rest in every conceivable way... the ashes are already about us if we could but notice them.

I don't dream about anyone - except myself

You say: 'Oh, please forgive' You say: 'Oh, live and let live.' But sorry doesn't help us. Sorry will not save us. Sorry is just a word you find so easy to say (so you say it anyway). Sorry doesn't help us. Sorry won't protect us. Sorry won't undo all the good gone wrong.

With people in the world such as 'Jamie Oliver' and [TV chef] Clarissa Dickson-Wright there isn't much hope for animals.
