friendship people evening
As the people grow colder, I turn to my computer and spend my evenings with it like a friend.
couple tired thinking
I've read a couple of things that I was sort of close to having a nervous breakdown. But I don't think I was. I was very, very tired. It was a really difficult time.
done television want
My first Top of the Pops I didn't want to do. I was terrified. I'd never done television before. Seeing the video afterwards was like watching myself die.
men evil like-you
They say that the Devil is a charming man. And just like you I bet he can dance.
men artist quality
Artists shouldn't be made famous. They have this huge aura of almost god-like quality about them, just because their craft makes a lot of money. And at the same time it is a forced importance...It is man-made so the press can feed off it.

thinking roots admirer
It's not that I don't like American pop; I'm a huge admirer of it, but I think my roots came from a very English and Irish base. Is it all sort of totally non-American sounding.

Comedy is a very big part of the English culture, the sense of humor; it's a very dominant trait.

To say that you like music is a bit like saying youlike the whole world.

Music is like comedy in that you can enjoy a very - for want of abetter word - sophisticated classical piece as much as you enjoy something that's very simple pop.
artist decision albums
I'd become very involved in the production, so the albums were taking longer. So it was never a deliberate decision not to do live shows. A few times, I've thought about doing them again, but it's just kind of never happened. I've just sort of gone the path of becoming a recording artist I guess.
thinking comedy sense-of-humor
I love comedy. I like to think that there's a sense of humor in some of my music - obviously not all of it.
pops states pop-music
Some of the best pop music ever has come out of the States.
