I stared at his picture for so many hours when I was pre-teen. When we were doing the recording for the album I'd look across and there were those eyes, coming out at me like lasers from a picture of 20 years ago. It was wild.

They must have made a mistake. I'm completely overwhelmed, I think it's insane. I love so many of the acts tonight and I think it's a bit bonkers to give the prize to one person. It's a bit nutty. It's kind of like a crazy contest between an orange and a spaceship and a potted plant and a spoon which one do you like better?

Everyone's certainly entitled to that opinion, but I actually am British.

Being stared at is not fun . . . There are times when someone on the street says, "Are you William Hurt?" and I will say, "No, not at the moment."

When you look at the picture, it's good.

It is a lot cheaper to spend eight hours in a rehearsal hall than in a recording studio.
