With the Roses, I knew we were great; I felt that we would achieve something. On my own, I had no idea.

I'm lucky enough to be one of them music makers who can do a dance festie or a rock festie.

I've not thought about the Stone Roses since we quit. How many LPs do I have to make to stop people talking about it?

I always loved Oasis because when they came out, they did express that they loved us, and they saw that we did it, and they thought they could do it, too.

Just because I'm a successful singer who's loved and has been loved for years doesn't mean I'm sitting behind electric gates in my own fantasy land.

I gave it up three weeks before my black belt, foolishly. I got to my third brown belt and must have trained for 18 months but never went for it. I was nearly 18 and got this thing in my head about, ' Who are they to grade me?' Trying to be a rebel when I should have done it. It's my only regret, not going for a black belt.

When I was 9, I was into T. Rex, Gary Glitter, and Alice Cooper. I knew The Beatles because my nan introduced me to them, but T. Rex was the first band I got into myself. I got 'Metal Guru' a few months after hearing 'Children of the Revolution' in Pwllheli in North Wales at a market.

I used to be one of those kids who couldn't keep my mouth shut.

I started doing karate when I was 11.

I am gentle. I think nearly everyone who makes music is sensitive - I don't care how hard they pretend they are.
