I’m an alcoholic. And the most unnatural thing for an alcoholic is not to drink. So every now and again I’ll just go and have a few drinks. But it catches up with you and bites you in the butt, you know?

I’m sure I’d been exposed to other songs, but I think the first one that had a real effect on me was “She Loves You” by The Beatles. It was just magic – it was like being hit by a bolt of lightning. I even remember where I was and what I was doing. I was walking down the road in Aston one day, with my light blue transistor radio, and this song came on. I thought, ‘What the fuck is that?’ It changed my life forever, and at that point I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I never knew it would turn out the way it did – it turned out way bigger than my wildest expectations – but I knew that I wanted to be the singer in a band. John Lennon was so great with words. He had an amazing way of turning out ridiculous lyrics but making them sound interesting and clever. Sometimes I like more straightforward lyrics, but at the same time, I’m a fan of lyrics that do a number on my head.
