I Believe That Humans Adapt To Circumstance.

If You Perform On A Stage Or You Sing A Song, It's Like You Sing Your Song, And Then The Words Go Into The Air, And Then They Go Into Somebody's Body Through Their Ears, So It's Kind Of Like Penetrating Somebody. It's Kind Of Like Having Sex With Somebody - But, Obviously, From A Great Distance.

I'd Never Really Wanted To Have A Really 'private' Life Before. But When Somebody Starts Delving Into It And Printing Details Through The Tabloids For Shagging People You Shouldn't Have Shagged, Then That Probably Made Me Shy Away A Bit More From Giving Too Much Away.

Well, Once You've Resigned Yourself To The Fact That You Are The More Mature Pop Performer And You're Past The Age You Ever Thought You Would Do It, You Might As Well Do It As Long As You Can. As Long As I Can Still Lift A Microphone, Then I'll Do It, You Know.

I Was Kind Of Reared By Television, But The Bbc, It Still Had That Thing - And People Are Always Invoking That Kind Of Reithian Idea - Where You Could Learn Stuff From It. If You Put A Kid In Front Of A Telly Now To Be Reared By That You'd Just Have A Jibbering Idiot, You Know What I Mean? Just Adverts For A Start. It's Almost Like The Programmes Are An Afterthought, The Real Business Of This Channel Is To Sell You Things And We're Just Going To Space Out Those Announcements With Some Crap To Watch.

I Don't Think People Should Abuse The Fact That They Are In Showbiz. You Still Have To Be Human. I Think That's The Point. Showbiz Is About Showing Human Things - Just Amplified, That's All. And When It Gets Too Much Into, "hey, We're Part Of The Showbiz Club And We Can Do What We Want," It Turns Me Off And I Hate It.
