I didn't lose my virginity until I was 18 The first time was a nightmare. Who shows you how to use a condom?
When I was sectioned for six months, that was one of the worst experiences of my life, not being able to go out and have freedom. Having experienced it, it's almost inexplicably awful.
I think what's going on with gorillas is pretty bad. The fact is that you can buy gorilla meat in London any day you want it.
I've been told I sold 110m albums and singles. If that's the case, I should've come here in a space rocket.
I'm blind without my glasses.
I am quite an early riser - I usually get up between 5.30 and 6am and take the dogs out.

Mile high club, it's got its ups and downs.
It makes me sad, sad inside, to see a warrior without his pride.
I just became a vegetable for three months. I couldn't talk to people. I was very ill and that was part of the reason I left college.
I want to do a make-up line for men.
I got a little house in East L.A. and did the gardening. I was doing some acting here and there, doing my own thing... getting back to reality.
I just think, certainly for live music it should look as good as it sounds.
I feel very grateful to be alive and well enough to make music.
I became a man. Before that I was a little boy.
