The thing about Manchester is...it all comes from here
Thank you for the sun / The one that shines on everyone / Who feels love.
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.
The charts are only relevant when you're top of them!
I absolutely loved being famous. It was all great, up until the point when it wasn't.
It is hard to be modest at times like these so I won't even try...you are all shite!
I'm equal part genius, equal part buffoon.
Anything that's of any use, famous people get hold of it and take it for themselves and it gets a bad rap.
Women have nine months more experience than you do - nine months to prepare for being a parent.
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.
Is it any wonder why Princes & Kings / Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings / When ordinary people who are like you and me / Are the builders of their destiny.
I love the Bee Gees, but only the pre-disco stuff. From '64 to '69, I've got all their albums.
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.
You can't put a load of rockstars up on a stage and expect to wipe out global poverty. That's ludicrous.
