You can't control the paparazzi. But if you go to Coachella you're going to get photographed. Whereas if you're at home walking down the street you probably won't. It's something I've learnt to navigate my way around but I try to keep my private life private.

I could lie and say my wife cooks for me but she doesn't. My wife has never learnt cooking but she has great cooks at home.

The lesson I have thoroughly learnt and wish to pass on to others is to know the enduring happiness that the love of a garden gives.

I think the way things have been left after Iraq is that people won't believe the Government of the day so they have to know that lessons have been learnt and that all political parties and people whether they were for or against the invasion of Iraq have learnt lessons.

I learnt a whole lot from my mother. About music relationships being a good person loving people the whole of life. I learnt about everything from her. Every single day I think about her. All through the day.

I've learnt that through life you just get on with it. You're going to meet a lot of dishonest people along the line and you say good luck to them. I hope they live in comfort. Then I start sticking more pins in their effigies.

You're not human if you don't feel fear. But I've learnt to treat fear as an emotion that sharpens me. It's there to give me that edge for what I have to do.

My faith is an important part of my life and over the years I've learnt that it takes a proud man to say he doesn't need anything. It has been a quiet strength and a backbone through a lot of difficult times.
