“We never had books at home, but my dad, seeing how keen I was to read, took me to Islington Library when I was about eight and we pulled out two - a Biggles and a science fiction novel. I never got the ace fighter pilot but fell in love with all things to do with the future and space. Isaac Asimov soon became my guiding star.”

“Songwriting helps me sort out my personal problems. With acting, you're just a tool for someone's ideas.”
“I am a metrosexual and into male grooming - I moisturise, I exfoliate.”
“I am a person who holds the aesthetic high. I have suits made in Savile Row.”
“I detest that saying 'Everything happens for a reason'; it's nonsense.”

“In the '80s the band was 24/7. You were only as good as what you were producing at any given moment. Now my family is more important. I also think having the shock of your mum and dad dying humbles you slightly.”
