To the Scissor Sisters. Back in the day, I could be an absolute monster; I was a real asshole.

Both parents, I’ll write the book someday.

I did say sorry to my mum, for being the way I was when I was a teenager. You become a parent and go, “Oh my God, this is what they were doing.”

To all my teachers – I’m sorry I thought class was a paying audience.

Fame. The upside is not worth the downside – you can’t turn fame on and off, and have privacy.

I think I’d just like to be chilling out really, so it’s like real summer family holidays where the most important things to decide are what are you going to have for breakfast, what are you going to have for lunch, what beach are you going to, and what are you going to have for dinner.

When I was about 14 and got my first drum kit, I wanted to be a drummer in a band like the Police.

I’d like to go all melodramatic and have Vide cor Meum by Patrick Cassidy from Kingdom Of Heaven. It’s also in another Ridley Scott movie, Hannibal. It’s an operatic piece and absolutely amazing. Obviously Ridley Scott thinks so, too..

In the 1990s in New Jersey, being driven to a radio station early one morning. Our driver fell asleep and we were on the other side of a dual carriageway with cars coming at us. We all screamed and banged on the seat, and he woke up and pulled the car back across.

I haven’t really had a job. I used to work at my dad’s garden centre in my late teens, but it was just messing around.
