I just need somewhere to dump all my negativity.

If you're a pop singer, you don't need to evolve. You just get a set together, have some hit songs and play them over and over.

When I started out in this business, I was a performer before I was a songwriter, I was a performer before I was recording. Performing is the roots. That's where it all came from. You didn't start out doing it because you wanted to make an album.

Britain is not the same anymore of course. It's never the same.

It was like I had evolved to a certain stage where I was stuck in this songwriter bag as an image. But basically at heart, I'm a rocker. And I still am. But I was caught up in the singer/songwriter bag and I wasn't really enjoying it.

If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?

A famous person to themselves, they don't get up in the morning and think, I'm famous. I'm not famous to me. Famous is a perception.
