I’m secretly hoping for the full five.

Are you tired? You should be! You've been running through my mind all day.

Did he annoy me? Yes, he was like a wasp at a picnic.

After a gig I get to the hotel all psyched-up from being on stage and get stuck into 'Homes and Interiors' magazine.

I don't think you'll ever be happy about anything unless you've done it.

I quite like being who I am.

I don't know why people enjoy what I do. I play piano and sing a few songs - and that's about as exciting as I want it to get. The people who come to my shows will have to bring a good book!

I'm not a good time-off person. I'm awful on holiday. It comes from having that period when I didn't work. That really was the worst bit.

I might do 'X Factor' next year. It's looking good that I won't get the sack at Christmas.

Now it seems like people want to do damage to young celebrities. They want to find them doing bad things. They encourage them.

I do think that I never got tied down to any social scene. I was just into creating stuff.

I wouldn't be able to act like Al Pacino or play the piano like Dr. John, But I could probably act better than Dr. John and play the piano better than Al Pacino.

I still am champion in my own right.

If it's possible to be in a good situation replacing a legend, he's in a good situation.
