"I was the only English kid in seven hundred Welsh. I didn't have any friends, either." 1996

"I was expelled from school, but I was the teacher's pet in English because I was very good at it. We had this lady teacher. I don't think it was sexual. She put me in this storeroom with the GCSE English paper when I was 13 and I passed it by 20 per cent." 1998

"I had a farm in Wales with two stallions bought for £34 which I'd broke in myself. Then I heard Little Richard, sold the horses and away I went." 1991
