I never had any trouble being myself. Myself was a problem for a lot of people, but I didn't have a problem.

I don't sell myself. I've never explained my comedy to people who don't get it. Never complain. Never explain.

I never wanted to be the guy people looked at. I don't think of myself as being a celebrity; it's too mortifying.

Whenever I sang, I said to myself, 'Maybe tonight.' I would never let down, no matter how few people were listening.

I'm never going to go and test myself on Everest, but I sort of understand the psychology of people who might want to.

One of the things about my ministry is that I have never branded myself as being above the people or superior to people.

I would never want to take TOMS or myself into an issues debate. That's not what we're about. We're about helping people.

But, by just being myself, I end up touching a lot more people who might never have paid much attention to a female rapper.

I would never bring a kid to a comedy show myself, but I have noticed that I can't stop other people from bringing their kids.

Personally, I have never considered myself corrupt or seen the need to be so. People are judged as what they are perceived to be.

I have never been able to see myself as fitting into one category, and I have never been able to limit my contact with people to one group of people.

I would never call myself an expert on geopolitics. I'm not studied in it. But what I do know is what's right and wrong in terms of treatment of people.

For so many years, people have used the expression 'poster boy of British MMA,' but I've never seen myself as that; I certainly never described myself as that.

I never had the guts to go to Calais. I didn't see for myself the conditions people were living in, or hear their stories firsthand. That doesn't sit well with my conscience.

I've never concerned myself with what anyone thought about my activity, be they people within my profession or people outside of it, and I definitely wouldn't concern myself with anything coming from a racist bigot like a Klan member.

When I was a kid, we didn't have any blues stations. I never heard Howlin' Wolf or Muddy Waters or any of those people until the Stones had come along, and I took it upon myself to find out who these people were that they were covering.

As a working-class actor, leaving school with no qualifications, being a printer and then becoming an actor and then working with people who to a certain extent had had a leg up. I never had that advantage. It's less an artistic need to express myself and more a need to prove myself.

I've called myself the Pied Piper, I've called myself the Weatherman, I've called myself Kellz, I've called myself a lot of things, changing the name, switching it up, just flipping, remixing. But never to harm anybody. Never to make a deep statement for people to dig into and figure it out.

I connect fashion to other peoples' elegance, but not my own. I don't think I've ever felt elegant. I've felt appropriate, but never elegant, and I wonder what that must be like. I like it when other people are elegant - I prefer it - but I can't do it myself. I honestly think it's some form of autistic disorder.
