“A squirrel attacked me. I got attacked by a squirrel in Battersea Park. They’re dangerous. It’s rare. I’ve torn most of the ligaments in my knee. So no football for me. It’s early retirement now. I’ve got a floating knee-cap!”

If I was in a horrorfilm I’d die first, because I would have no idea what’s going on.

The worst thing a girl could do on a date is fart louder than me.

Age is just a number. Who cares how old the girl is that I date?

Dreams do come true, believe always. I dreamt every night of becoming a singer

Everyone gets that second album syndrome.

We’re never going to escape the idea of being young. Which I don’t mind myself. I mean, who wants to grow up anyway?

I don’t want to live up to how people expect me to be.

Do you think anybody knows that I’m Irish?

I want to live forever! I want to learn how to fly high!

Fans always ask me to marry them so I’ll have a lot of wives.

I want to sell out arenas and make an album and work with some of the best artists in the world.

Changing is for weirdos.

Our band will never change , we will always be 5 singing idiots .

We cut up lemons on a chop board because they are good for our voices.

The type of girls that would sleep with you in a heartbeat aren’t the type of girls I’d want to take home anyway.

I feel I am a little bit older. Reckon I will start growing a beard next week.

We find animals doing things that we, in our arrogance, used to think was just human .

But humanity never gets beyond the caterpillar stage -it rots in the chrysalis, it never will have wings.It is anti-creation, like monkeys and baboons.

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.

I’d like to be remembered as someone who really helped people to have a little humility and realize that we are part of the animal kingdom, not separated from it.

I smell a rat.

And besides, look at elder flowers and bluebells-they are a sign that pure creation takes place – even the butterfly.

The least I can do is speak out for the hundreds of chimpanzees who, right now, sit hunched, miserable and without hope, staring out with dead eyes from their metal prisons. They cannot speak for themselves.

Sometimes I [longed to be a chimp] I just wanted to know. what it felt like in the evening to be making a nest and what it felt like to be a female when a big male comes thundering in.
