It was like orderin a hamburger and getting only the buns

I suggest we bring some normality back to this country and say if you are carrying a knife, there must be zero tolerance. If it was up to me, everyone caught with a knife would get an automatic ten year sentence.

The feelings that we equate with love-feeling sick, feeling insecure, not eating-that's just lust getting in the way. It's your ego saying, 'I want to get laid' and 'I hope she likes me more than I like her.' Love is something that should be there in 20 years' time.

My advice would be if you want to pursue a career in the music business, don't.

It's not our intention to be mean. That's just within us.

I could just sit back and get someone to spin my achievements, I suppose, but when I see others do it, I always think, 'Why are you telling me how successful you are?' I am always suspicious of those kinds of boasts.

I love producing shows. And so when you're on a show where other people are making decisions you don't necessarily agree with it, after a while you start to feel like a passenger.

Of course I have an ego, but you have to have an ego. You have to be incredibly competitive. I can get competitive at times, way too much, and it becomes a little bit obsessive.

When I was young and we got caught pinching apples, we got a smack from the local policeman. Today if that happened he would be sued. There is a tendency to punish the victim, not the criminal. If someone broke into my house or my mum's house, I worry that the burglar has more rights than me.

I work out three or four times a week, I have Botox, take tons of vitamins and vitamin infusions - if you believe that these things work, you will feel better.

I've always been petrified of working for a boss who I didn't like but who I was in fear of, because I wanted my salary.

The best way to kill someone is from the inside, by crushing their hopes and dreams.

My proudest achievement has been the success of the shows and artists I have been involved with, because they were made in Britain.

I look at him [son Eric] and I think of my dad all the time.... I was born to be a dad.

We have hated the French for years. Now you have just joined the club. It makes you much more likable.

My dad wasn't someone who was a great disciplinarian, we had a fun relationship, but he gave me really constructive advice in my life, which I still carry today and I do pass on to other people. So if I can have the same relationship with my son as I had with my dad, then I think he'll be very happy and I'll be very happy.

I grew up when the whole Motown thing was huge. The charts in those days were dominated by groups more than solo artists at one point.
