rap people hip-hop
I don't dislike rappers or hip-hop or people who like it. I went to the Def Jam tour in Manchester in the '80s when rap was inspirational. Public Enemy were awesome. But it's all about status and bling now, and it doesn't say anything to me.
character flip sides
To be quite honest, John Lennon had questionable politics. There was a flip side. He was all peace and love, but he was a very violent character.
art iron house
Under Thatcher, who ruled us with an iron rod, great art was made. Amazing designers and musicians. Acid house was born. Very colourful and progressive.
fall artist made
I don't fall into the category of tortured artist. But it's not made me more or less anything.
christmas cards arms
It's the first time I'm going to be on my own this Christmas and I'm really looking forward to not having any cards or decorations up. So I'll be in London, sit on my couch, arms folded, curtains drawn, having a drink.
people downloading-music
I'm against people downloading music.
parent nine months
Women have nine months more experience than you do - nine months to prepare for being a parent.
rap people use
Anything that's of any use, famous people get hold of it and take it for themselves and it gets a bad rap.
fame
Fame is something that is bestowed upon you because of success. Success is something you have to chase.
thinking might might-have-been
You can't afford to think about what might have been. You just be aware of what is.
powerful believe hands
I certainly don’t believe in religion, although I find it fascinating that it’s become so powerful in the world and it’s kind of dictated morals down through societies for thousands of years, but I don’t see the hand of God at work in the world anywhere.
football thinking ferguson
I think the fact that Sir Alex Ferguson rested Howard Webb had a lot to do with the result.
mirrors honest intention
If everyone in the music business were brutally honest about what their intentions were then you could sort things out, but it's all smoke and mirrors.
song play
Every song that I play I wrote by myself.
