There's so much cynicism around in Britain, especially in the press. The American press might be naive, but at least you feel as if they're on your side.

Sometimes the British press is maybe a little bit racist.

I like the best of the British press. The best of the British press is very good.

I've never got on with the British press because they've always given me such a hard time. Once they build a band up they just want to do people down. They shouldn't concentrate on the colour of someone's shirt they should listen to the music.

When I came to Britain I was in awe of the British press, afraid of them. But they're not as ferocious as people think. In some instances they are, but when it comes to taking on power they're really deferential.

There are members of the London press who seek to antagonise me, deliberately.

I don't take the English press seriously at all because all they want is dirt... I hate them.

I'm not going to make general comments about the British press.

The British press has been unfair to me and the public has followed.

I've always worked on the fringe of the British press establishment, carving out this niche for myself.
