Someone trying to be funny probably isn't as funny as someone who doesn't want to be funny but is and can't help it. Someone being serious or angry might be funny. If you get angry, the first thing I want to do is laugh because I don't know why you're getting that angry. Pathos makes me laugh, funerals make me laugh.

People see me, and they see the suit, and they go: you're not fooling anyone, they know I'm rock and roll through and through. But you know that old thing, live fast, die young? Not my way. Live fast, sure, live too bloody fast sometimes, but die young? Die old. That's the way- not orthodox, I don't live by the rules you know.

I have to be excited, I have to have an adrenaline rush about doing something, or it bores me, I feel trapped.

Telling someone with depression to pull themselves together is about as useful as telling someone with cancer to just stop having cancer

There's no difference between fame and infamy now. There's a new school of professional famous people that don't do anything. They don't create anything.

I'm not from around these parts. I'm from a little place called England: we used to run the world before you.

Of all the disciplines involved in making anything - TV, film or anything I do - the writing is the most valuable commodity.

I feel sorry for people in power. I feel sorry for the Queen, in a way, that she hasn't had a normal life. It'd difficult for me to hate anyone. Immediately someone's unpopular, I feel sorry for them.

You now have the least amount of time you've ever had, to do everything you've ever wanted to do. Enjoy your life. You only get one

It's interesting that music in this country... we sort of sold something to America with The Beatles and they sold something back. And we've never been afraid to embrace American style rock 'n' roll and make it our own over here.
