It's great to do small plays in the theatre and then go off with Blur and play in front of thousands of people.

When I was a kid doing television, they'd stick a leather jacket on me, and I would be the thug.

I used to go into bars on my days off, and I decided that wasn't too good for me.

I grew up near King's Cross station in London, living in an apartment block where my dad was a caretaker.

Freedom is a very great reality, but it means above all things, freedom from lies.

Whatever energy you put out there, that's the energy you're going to get back.

I'm not interested in being commodified. I'm not into being sold. I'm not a slave.

A $50 haircut, cool glasses, skinny jeans and a tattoo does not a prophet make.

Corruption is not a Canadian value!
