You can only begin to be great when you embrace a sense of your own ridiculousness.

The Beatles were huge for me, ... I used to jump around the room to the red album, the one with all the early hits on it. It made you feel euphoric. It was a sensation I couldn't get from anything else, whether it was playing football, swimming or even seeing 'Star Wars.'

Cinema, which is influenced by every single part of life, is direct and reaches you immediately. And writing - the best writing is complex ideas communicated concisely. And music - if it's a good tune, make sure people can bloody hear it!

Traditionally, lots of vagrants and unemployable characters wind up working in kitchens.

You really only understand whether a song's good or not when you properly play it out in public for the first time.

It's fine to indulge yourself so long as you don't try and foist it on the rest of the world.

I find American football quite ridiculous generally. I don't understand it. It looks like a lot of guys dressed up as spacemen shouting at each other.

I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.

Ambition is sneered at by some bands. It seems like a pretty good thing to me.

There's a difference between expectations and aspirations.

There's a character that I play onstage, and I can't let him loose in the supermarket when I'm buying my beans on toast.
