I like to think I'm quite brave. I stand up for myself.

I understand that sometimes when you're young it's difficult to remember the difference between real life and what is part of fantasy.

I don't let other people tell me what to do. Well, unless it's my mum.

I think there's a really mature side of me that can deal with problems - but when I'm with my friends, I get to act much more kidlike.

When you've got hardly any equipment, very little money and no access to any information, your sound is very much dictated by you, your setup and what you're listening to. Nothing more.

I have a very big phone book and a very long reach around the world. And I think - I don't think, I know - that 95 percent of the people who I know who weren't born into success who have become successful and done things that are different and made a lot of money and had a lot of excitement in their life are people who never hear the word 'no.'

I don't make money on the road, and so there's less and less incentive for me to do it when I don't have that adolescent desire for whatever it is, glory or fame.

I think when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody.
