Spitalfields - I often find myself milling around there. I always go down Spitalfields whenever I can.

Each man kills the things he loves. I recognise that in myself - in relationships, even with guitars - beautiful things that I've had and wilfully destroyed.

I just wanted to get on telly. I wasn't a massive Oasis fan, but I had to be in order to get on the telly.

I was always very softly spoken and kinda looked after myself.

I love Paris.

Me and my dad, we're both quite nostalgic people.

I think I'm really quite horrible to myself in many ways.

I could be anywhere. I just need my space to work.

I'm not saying that maybe there isn't a kid out there whose behavior hasn't been influenced by me in some way. I'm sure there is. But I can only speak for myself, and if you'd asked if my behavior had ever been affected by people I'd admired from afar, like musicians or footballers, that'd be a yes, totally. Right down to their hand gestures.

I love life. I squeeze everything I can out of the day.

In my own sweet way, I'm quite a superficial person.

I'm blindingly optimistic. Ravingly optimistic.

To get better, you have to get worse.

He kind of makes me ill, David Cameron. I liked the old-fashioned Tory - like Winston Churchill, who had style. But Cameron's like a new breed - computer-generated. I hate it.

For a little while, maybe I did fall for my own mythology.

When you see a photograph of a football crowd at a Saturday afternoon game in August 1963, you've got 40,000 men in trilbies. That's paradise, man.

'You Talk' was originally a copy of a certain Velvet Underground song.

The media circus got a bit twisted when I was in London. It became a bit of a joke, really. In Paris, they're so serious, I can take myself really seriously, too. I can get really morbid without people telling me to cheer up.

It's amazing, the number of people who don't have passports, who can't read, who can't write. It's sick actually. It's disgusting.

There's no drug in the world that can compare with playing music.

For any music aficionados out there, if you just play E to G, with a cool hairdo, you can't go wrong.

I'm not really a fighter, but I've never backed down from anyone in Paris. I feel I can't. In London, I'll just run because I'm not going to fight 50 Wolverhampton Wanderers fans.

Every day I wake up in Paris, it's real tranquillity. No pressure. I'm out of the grasp of people. I don't have a phone, and I drift a little bit.

There's a difference between performing in Philadelphia to New York as much as a difference between playing in Luton and playing in San Francisco, y'know what I mean?
