I guess we decided to make a new record 3 years ago when Nancy was done scoring for Almost Famous.

I became famous almost before I had a craft.

Famous crime stories almost always lead to the passing of new laws.

Actually bizarrely in America I get more appreciation from the odd unusual stuff I've done almost because I'm not if you like famous in America as I am in England.

I love being famous. It's almost like being white.

Yeah I love being famous. It's almost like being white y'know?

A chair is a very difficult object. A skyscraper is almost easier. That is why Chippendale is famous.

Touring is tough. You're almost in a haze because you don't really know where you are half the time: You're in a hotel room one moment and the next thing you know you're onstage performing for 60 000 people then you're back on an airplane. It's very hectic and I couldn't do it without my family.

Think about what people are doing on Facebook today. They're keeping up with their friends and family but they're also building an image and identity for themselves which in a sense is their brand. They're connecting with the audience that they want to connect to. It's almost a disadvantage if you're not on it now.

Where would you be without friends? The people to pick you up when you need lifting? We come from homes far from perfect so you end up almost parent and sibling to your friends - your own chosen family. There's nothing like a really loyal dependable good friend. Nothing.
