I am really a very shy person. If I appear, it is because of the music, not because I want to be seen.

It's very homely, this castle. It doesn't have huge ballrooms. I didn't want a cold, cavernous place.

I don't mind doing the Who tours when they come along but I want to get out there and play.

Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it.

If you want to make someone feel emotion, you have to make them let go. Listening to something is an act of surrender.

Hitman does well and it certainly does well enough to survive, but at the same time I don't want to involve the character into the DC Universe even if it meant more sales, to the point where we sort of upset the balance that we have at the moment.

Wouldn't want to write the X-Men, and I suppose the X-Men is the ultimate Marvel comic, and I really wouldn't want to go anywhere near it at all, although on the other had I wouldn't mind having a crack at something like the Punisher.

I wouldn't want the pressure of a Six Feet Under or the pressure of improvising like Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I call it an old-fashioned seafood house for the new millennium. We are trying to update what we know as old fish houses and places like that, which are great, but I want to give it a new, fresh look with updated versions of the classics we all love.

You don't want madhouse and the whole thing there.

I want to solidify as an artist and show that as I grow as a person and make mistakes and learn from them, I'm going to grow artistically.

I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There's no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.

If I didn't want to work for a couple of years, I wouldn't have to-it's a great feeling, to know I'm doing it because I want to do it.

I've got over so much. Mum wouldn't want anything to come into my life that would make me fragile again.

Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get.
