Before breaking into music, I had various jobs: forklift driver, driving a courier. But I was forced into working rather than doing it off my own bat because that was my dad's way: you got a job and paid your way.

I've been fined probably more than any driver, and I've probably paid it out of my own pocket more than any driver.

I've always paid my own way, I've never lived off anyone.

I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts.

I had three jobs in college. The best day of my life was when I paid off my student loans, on my own.

I want to start my own airplane business. I'm going to buy two Dakotas, paint them up in war colours and do, er, nostalgia trips to Arnhem - you know, where the old paratroopers used to go - and charge them about 20 quid a time.
