- I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it, but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.
- I got in trouble with the police, and that was a rude awakening. That was it. I'd seen the bottom of the pit, and it was time to scrape myself out of it.
- I never took a grant or borrowed a penny from anybody. It was partially because I didn't really know how to do that, but secondly, my pride never would have allowed me to. In the beginning it was about doing it the right way, on the merits of the music.
- There's not an instruction manual on how to deal with success, so you just have to rely on having great friends and a good team.
- I wish I could write the songs I wrote back when I was twenty-two. But I don't know how to do that anymore. I write the songs I write now that I'm fifty-two. It's a different thing.
- [on Bob Geldof] He should be made a saint!
- There is no need for a lot of styling in a man. No jewelry, no accessories. Jeans and a shirt, that's sufficient.
- [on COVID-19] Thanks to some f*cking bat eating, wet market animal selling, virus making greedy bastards, the whole world is now on hold, not to mention the thousands that have suffered or died from this virus.
