"There's nothing more boring than a rock and roll star. Someone who has been on the road for 10 years, expecting attention wherever he goes, drinking himself stupid, who is obnoxious, incoherent, uncreative and has a massive ego. There's nothing more pointless."

"A friend of mine once wrote to Stephen Fry and said 'Please can you send my friend Jonny a signed book because he adores you?', and he wrote adores with hearts all over it. So stephen wrote back 'With particular loveliness, Stephen Fry - Norfolk, March 2001'. Really over and above.... a collaboration? He's a bit too up for us. Alan Bennet is more Radiahead."

"The nature of making a record is fucking hard work. I think that anything that you do that's got any validity is fucking hard work and that's the kind of realisation of making five albums now. If it's going to be any good, it's going to be a lot of hard work."
