'Lollipop Opera' is the backdrop to Finsbury Park. A place that is very thriving, interracial and lot of music stores, Greek, Turkish, all sorts of immigrant music. It's utter Englishness. It blends the Jamaicans, the Irish. It's like what Jim Reeves did with American country music.

The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.

Pop music I have always loved best. But the more extreme, fascist-led examples of the music business I tend to detest the most.

It's nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I'm bloody close.

If you have something to say then you want someone to pay attention or at least to have the opportunity for them to tell you to shut up and go away.

Dummy Dum Dum was my nickname for years at school. I was the strange one of the family, the one who couldn't remember his name.

I somehow hope - naïve though I may be, utopian, possibly - that my music has some kind of calming effect on the universe, that it's somehow beneficial to people.

These days young kids don't have any place to form an epic adventure. It's more often in front of the TV screen or a laptop. That's very hard on them. They're being taught daily unsocial skills. Facebook is an unsocial skill. It's so sad.

Music is escapism from the grim realities of life. But then as soon as you escape into the music, from my point of view, I found I had to deal with the very things that I thought I was running away from. I wanted to hit those problems on the head and resolve them. So they didn't remain as issues in my psyche.

I don't tolerate liars. When somebody lies to me, that's really, like, just unbearable.

I never thought of Green Day as a punk band. Just bubblegum, really.

You'll find that empty vessels make the most sound.

I've done no harm to no one. In fact, I think I've improved the world.

It's volatile, the marriage. Which one isn't? Nothing better than a good, full-on row. Get it all out. Say rude and nasty things. And then be sorry. Genuinely sorry, afterwards.

I don't listen to music. I hate music.

Michael Jackson plays the wounded puppy very well. 'I must be the loneliest man in the world'. Well, you're not a man. And the loneliness is self inflicted, so sod off you pathetic puerile pimp. I wonder what color his willy is.

I'm not limited to categories or genres. Anything human beings come up with fascinates me. If a three-legged idiot like me can dance to it, then that's all well and fine.

I find Lady Gaga hilarious. And I kind of like her. My heart's warmed to her.

I always find the mirror in the dressing room is where the best artists are.
