You can't drink on an eight hour flight, pass out, and then go onstage... well you can, but then you're Spandau Ballet.
I became an adult in an extreme way. I was recently sorting some old photographs and I found another.
They may not like us, but they can't get away from knowing who we are.
Each time I play a song it seems more real.
I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?
I do a job I really, really love and I kind of have fun with. People think you can't be grown up unless you're moaning about your job.
I don't think of death in a romantic way anymore.
I hardly ever listen to any of our old stuff now. Once the songs have been recorded and put on to vinyl they become someone else's entertainment, not mine.
I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier.
I never answer if someone knocks on my door and only the band and my manager have my phone number. In any case my phone doesn't ring so I never notice it. I occasionally just walk past and pick it up to see if anyone's there.
I think the rock'n'roll myth of living on the edge is a pile of crap.
I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us.
I'd rather spend my time looking at the sky than listening to Whitney Houston.
You don't really know a song until you play it live.
I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it.
