I have met so many of my idols - like Ray Charles, Brian Setzer - all these cats that are legendary musicians. If they had said to me, 'Hey man, I'm busy,' it would have crushed my soul.

I'm actually one of the more reluctant celebrities you will ever meet.

I've met so many of my idols, but the one person that has eluded me is Bono. But because he's done 'Spider-Man,' I keep thinking maybe, through a Broadway connection, somehow our paths will eventually merge.

There are plenty of people in the world who have tried to be rock stars and have not gotten there.

Like a lot of young lads who dreamt about being a singer, I was a massive fan of Robbie Williams and couldn't believe my luck when, not only did I get to meet my idol, but sing with him, too.

As a young concert-going person, I was never enamoured with celebrities who would walk out to feature in certain songs and then walk off.

I was just glad to meet somebody outside of my group of small town friends who was into music. Somebody else who had aspirations to do something more than sing at a record hop.

I think a lot of people secretly wish they were a rock star, and I'm no exception.

I could care less if it's Mick Jagger or the man on the street. I just like interesting people, and I happen to know a lot of stars.
