Any Reaction Is Better Than None.

When I Was Lucky Enough To Be Successful, I Distanced Myself Completely From The Whole Thing Of Units And Selling Copies. I Just Wanted To Keep Everyone Who Comes To See Me Happy. I Spend So Much Time After My Shows Talking To People Who Come From All Over The World To See Me. I'll Go Out And Sign A Picture And Have A Chat.

I Don't Know Any Musician Who Got To The Top Without Hard Work. Take Whoever You Want. They All Work Bloody Hard, Harder Than You Think.

There's Nothing Worse Than Someone Coming Up To Me And Going Oh God, I Really Love Your Hair.

I Was In Rock Music In London When It Was The Height Of Brit Pop, With The Kinks Revival And Suede And Blur And Oasis, And All Of Those Really Great Bands That Were Of A Certain Style. If I'd Really Been Smart And Commercially Minded, I Would Have Just Got Myself A Blazer And Some Stay Press And Some Fred Perry Tops, And Just Gone Out And Tried To Do It Like Everyone Else. Instead, I Did This Ridiculous Thing Of Trying To Do This Music.

It's Like A Relay Race Of Being Ignored. It Is Really Challenging, But Whenever I Get Asked That Stuff, I Feel Really Self-conscious About It. I Feel Really Lucky Because We Have A Lot Of Help. When I First Began To Be A Dad With Gwen [stefani], I Was Amazed At What She Went Through.
