Things in themselves have no life in them. A car can't comfort or encourage you. A house means nothing if there's no life and love inside.

All I want to know is that I can keep this house for the rest of my days and I want to make good music... and have the odd sports car in the garage, obviously!

I have a nice house, nice cars, nice watches, nice things. I've got money in the bank. I'm not in need of a few quid - as it stands. It's all irrelevant to me.

I'm not extravagant. I share my house in London with five roommates. I take the Tube. I intend to stay the exact same person I always was.

I spend an extraordinary amount of time in my car, so I can justify the expense. That's the only extravagance in my life - it's my car.

I don't have luxurious tastes or great needs, but my independence is worth a lot to me.

In life, you need a house and a car. After that, you have a choice.

Other people might want a Ferrari, but I wanted a butterfly house. I built it together with a blacksmith. We designed it together.

Honestly, I'm not an extravagant person; I don't spend a lot of money.

I had the notion that, OK, so now we have all of this wealth, we could buy not only one expensive car, we could buy all of them. As soon as you realize that you could buy all of them, then none of them are particularly interesting or satisfying.
