I went to a friend's 40th in Manchester, and there was a karaoke machine, and no one was having a go. My mate said, 'No one's singing because you're in the room.' I said, 'Who am I, Frank Sinatra?' They made me sing flipping 'My Star' to a backing track that sounded like '80s Roxy Music. It was pretty embarrassing, but I did it.

Putting another human being above yourself isn't healthy. I think it's capitalistic.

I'd like to write songs for other people, see things from a different perspective. I'd like to watch things from the dugout instead of the pitch.
