After a foreign invasion, there has to be a sort of feeling of musical inadequacy in the country.

These days I think people give up too easily. Everyone says it’s about compromise, which it is. Love, compromise, promises, presents help. But ultimately it’s about not giving up. People are led to believe that if it’s not perfect then just ditch it and change it, these days. That’s a mistake.

Ambition is a funny thing. You can completely screw yourself with it if you're not careful.

It's pathetic to have regrets about fashion. Things to do with my life, yes, I have regrets there.

I'm not a snob. Ask anybody-well, anybody who matters.

We want to be the band to dance to when the bomb drops.

Complaining doesn't make a difference it's useless and it's wasted energy.

My kids love vinyl, I had to teach them how to put the needle on the records. Now they're worried about scratching the records, but it's incredible!

I've got three kids, and those are mouths to feed.

People wonder why I go out with models with nothing between their heads

It worried me when Britney snogged Madonna. It looked a bit fake. It screamed 'We're in this for the money'.

Digital music boils down the actual musical experience.

That was the whole point in forming a band. Girls. Absolutely gorgeous girls

Sad news- Prince is gone. Music has lost a great presence. A world less funky. I don't believe in it.

There's no question that a vinyl record is a lot nicer than a CD. It's nicer to hold in your hands, you can do more with it.
