I never really went to any concerts that I wasn't in.

If it was up to me, it would be nice not ever to get stopped on the street, because we just do music. I didn't do this to become a celebrity.

I've never been enamoured by the idea of being a celebrity.

I never really looked up to celebrities when I was young.

I went from being totally unknown to getting stopped every time I went out. I always wanted to be successful, but I have never wanted to become a celebrity. I never, ever, craved that.

A lot of people these days are not music lovers - they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.

As an athlete, I was never really comfortable with being a celebrity.

I never really felt like a rock singer or a rock star or whatever.

I'm not striving for fame, that's for sure. I don't particularly like the idea of celebrity. I would like to be successful with my music, so I realise that there's a balance to be made there.

For a long time, I couldn't actually deal with playing concerts; it was a totally alien concept to me, 'cause I was used to playing in clubs and dance halls.
