I just don't care what people like Lily Allen think about stuff.
O lovely lily clean, O lily springing green, O lily bursting white, Dear lily of delight, Spring in my heart agen That I may flower to men.
I'm like a fatter version of Amy Winehouse and a skinnier version of Lily Allen.
There is no evolving, only unfolding. The lily is in the bit of dust which is its beginning, lily and nothing but lily: and the lily in blossom is a ne plus ultra: there is no evolving beyond.
We kind of write pop songs, but we don't fit in the pop world. We're really bad at being pop stars and walking down red carpets. We've got our own little bubble, which we really like. We've learned to really like that.
Pop stars are pop stars. People, especially the youngsters, are crazy for them.
I don't like being put in the same category as people because we have the same genitals and boobs. Nobody is going to write "Lily Allen vs. Ed Sheeran." It just doesn't happen.
I've been writing pop songs for pop stars for a couple years and see what their lives are like, and that's just not something I want.
There are many pop stars who are great performers - but there is no chart-topping pop star in history who could play guitar like Prince.
I think there have been so many documentaries about pop stars, made by pop stars. It's a new phenomenon. People making these movies where they praise themselves and show their own weaknesses. it's all designed to make you love them even more.
Everyone thinks Lily Allen is this brash, bold, funny person. It was all just a bit of a facade and bravado.
Like probably many people of little education who find themselves, like pop stars or film stars, suddenly lauded by the whole world, it is very difficult if you have not had a mother bringing you up who was quite stern and strict.
The record company doesn't know what to do with me, because I'm not a Lily Allen, but I'm not really an indie artist, either. All the best artists have been in the middle.
An awful lot of gay pop stars pretend to be straight. I'm going to start a movement of straight pop stars pretending to be gay.
I'm a big fan of Lily Allen's music, but I'm not a fan of her personality. I differentiate the two.
When you have a teacher who is part of a tradition, the other people in that tradition are such stars. You just look at them like pop stars.
