"I'm called a doctor now". "Don't worry, I won't open a surgery. But I guess if you are a songwriter maybe I could have some kind of musical surgery". Brincou o músico.
"If you had a song with a swollen chorus, or a varicose verse, or if you need a little bit of help I could try and heal your song for you".
"Sometimes people call it the university of life, the only trouble with the university of life is the graduation when you've checked out, so it's nice to actually have a graduation whilst I'm still here to enjoy it".
"It's a great honour to be given this, especially in my home town."
