My standard training week, there’s a lot of training in there. I have a high-performance coach who manages these spreadsheets of mine, manages my sessions and my loads. It’s a very complicated process, and he puts me through about 22 sessions a week.
My parents always knew I was hopeless at everything else, I was fortunate in that I was backed all the way. I came to it late and only because I thought there’d be loads of women and drinking!
Loads of players love the stock markets. For me, it’s fashion.
We concentrate too much on ethnic diversity and not enough on class. It’s dead important to represent loads of different cultures. But what the BBC doesn’t do enough of is thinking about getting people from more working-class backgrounds.
I don’t really watch what I eat. I love sitting around with friends and eating loads and drinking loads for hours. Maybe when I’m 40 I’ll worry about my diet.
Best place I’ve visited is probably Tanzania when I was younger and I’d love to go to America as I haven’t been to loads of places there yet.
I’ve done loads of things people have never seen – dramas on BBC4 and plays upstairs at the Royal Court and the Bush – and because I didn’t go to drama school, they gave me an education.
You can make loads of great saves, but if you concede, it’s, ‘That’s what we will show the world.’
You can never say never in this game, but I can’t see myself boxing again. There’s loads of things I want to do.
I spent loads of time in Scotland as a kid. My dad would take us back up to Aberdeen loads, and I have very fond memories of getting chips from his favourite chippy and heading down to the beach to eat Baskin Robbins ice cream.
You write in songs what you’re too scared to write in real life, and then you sing the songs to loads of people instead of telling it to the person you should be telling it to… Songs are a great way of dealing with those issues but kind of a coward’s way as well.
We really wanted to be rock ‘n’ roll, so we became rock ‘n’ roll, and really good at it, but you pick up loads of layers and you completely forget who you are and what you are.
Loads of computer graphics equals a terrible video in my book.
I’ve gone up for loads of jobs in the past that I knew were going to be terrible, and I’ve done my best, and I still haven’t got them. So I think I’ve been lucky in who’s decided I’d be worthy of their time.
I mean I get loads of money, all from different sources. You give it to your accountant. They manage it. But you pay corporation tax. If you’re then taking it out and spending it on yourself, you have to pay more.
I’ve had people spit in my face. I’ve had bottles thrown at me. My house has been attacked. I’ve had loads of things happen. People have written to me saying they are going to find me.
People eat duck and you think, well, we’ve got loads of chickens, leave the ducks alone!
I feel really lucky that I somehow have blagged my way into loads of different experiences. I find making a film fascinating, I find making a play amazing, and working with my band and scoring things… it’s all really cool. I’m just a glutton for experience, really.
I have taken a good look at myself loads of times.
Loads of stuff that I’ve done has always had a hint of comedy. I did this show called ‘Psychoville’ that’s a horror-comedy. Because I just think that’s what life’s like.
I got a feeling I had loads when I was in primary school, ’cause I had red hair; you know, like Duracell.
Being mixed race in Britain in the ’80s and ’90s, there just weren’t loads of people who looked like me.
I came from a background where there wasn’t loads of money in the family so I wasn’t necessarily always the first to get jerseys but I did always make sure I had the England kit.
People offer me loads of stuff, and some of it I like, but I just can’t do it because I can’t write it all. So I might get in the position where I have some sort of company and just write maybe the first episode, but these are love projects, in a way.
London seems to be one step ahead of everywhere else which I like because you see things first. It’s where British fashion is developed and there are so many little vintage shops and boutiques; there are always loads on offer.
There are loads of fan sites for the ‘Edge,’ including deviant art, song lyrics using ‘Edge’ language, multiple entries on Wikipedia, there are even some ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’ games all about the ‘Edge.’
Whole foods like grains and beans release their sugar very, very slowly because of the fiber in them, and they don’t give you a sugar rush. They feed your cells as needed, and as a result, you have loads of stable energy that powers you through the day.
Confidence is something you’re born with. I know I had loads of it even at the age of 15.
I always try to travel as light as possible. I feel really embarrassed having loads of luggage.
They will accuse me of stealing from my father. They already stand in baited judgement, waiting for my first move, waiting to dump their loads of garbage on me.
However, my problems with my memory are further complicated by the fact that while I don’t have any recollection of things I have actually done, I have very vivid recollections of loads of things that I haven’t done.
Ideas pull the trigger, but instinct loads the gun.
I just had loads of thoughts in my head, and I didn’t like talking about them, so I kind of just sung about them.
I’m a naturally upbeat person. Friends sometimes compare me to a labrador puppy, and I take that as a great compliment. I love life, I love people and I’ve got loads of energy right up to the moment when I’m suddenly asleep.
The only advantage of the CD is that you have a booklet that can tell a bit of a story, but the little covers are just boring. I love vinyl, and I have loads of it. It’s the same thing as digital photography versus film photography. It’s a quality thing.
It is only from the people I’ve had the good fortune to meet that I am learning the lessons to guide me. Baz Luhrmann, director of ‘Moulin Rouge,’ for example, has a childlike curiosity about the world. He doesn’t pretend to know all the answers – quite the opposite, in fact. He asks loads of questions of everyone.
I love people who smile… and always try to smile loads.
