I guess we decided to make a new record 3 years ago when Nancy was done scoring for Almost Famous.
I don't maybe follow the normal star profile, and it's not something that I particularly want to embrace in terms of the publicity thing and wanting to be famous and known.
Becoming famous was never what I wanted to do. There's a lot of things that come with fame - it's what people in the limelight have to do.
Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.
I have a very down-to-earth father. My wife is an actress and famous herself is more down-to-earth than anyone I know.

Quentin is very organic; there was no way that he was going to put someone else's hand in there and anyway, my hands are kind of famous. It seemed right.

Any idiot can get laid when they're famous. That's easy. It's getting laid when you're not famous that takes some talent.
I don't want to be more famous than what I have right now. At least in that sense where people come up to me in the grocery store.
Nobody's going to say hello to me in the street, really, because there'll be someone a bit more famous coming along the street in a minute. That typifies London, really.
