I'm the whitest GUY you will ever meet. The first TIME I saw an AFRICAN-AMERICAN, my dad had to TELL me to stop staring.

I have a strange HABIT of WALKING down STREETS and staring up, RATHER than looking at shopfronts and stuff LIKE that.

There's nothing BETTER than looking out into the AUDIENCE and having a WHOLE SEA of glowsticks staring back at you.

I'm no apologist for RUSSIA or the Assad regime, but actually, this has been staring us in the face for a NUMBER of years now, and I think it's time to turn a PAGE and accept reality. Our STRATEGY - if that is the right word - FAILED miserably, and Russia's with Iran has been successful.

I sit in my LITTLE office and I feel LIKE I've GOT all my READERS STARING at me.

The TRUTH is, for me, when I was a YOUNG black girl who knew I was DIFFERENT, was watching TV, I would ALWAYS be staring at the TV SET looking for myself, and I didn't see me. And when you don't see yourself, you start to think that you don't matter, or you start to think that something is wrong with you.

I miss being able to have a drink in my local PUB, which I can't do ANYMORE, or being able to go to the shops without EVERY SECOND person STARING at me and looking at my basket to see what I'm buying.

During the downtime on tour, I SIMPLY WALK from ROOM to room, STARING into my computer.

The MOVIE, 'Remember the Titans,' is my favorite movie, staring Denzel Washington. I LOVE the way in this movie the game of FOOTBALL brings those boys together, it unites those boys on that football field. It unites a whole TOWN, black, white, old, young, rich and poor.
