“I believe, from reading biographies, that the great musicians have als...” — Jamie Cullum Quote

“I believe, from reading biographies, that the great musicians have also been great cooks: Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Max Roach. I think I've worked out why this is - unsociable hours, plus general creativity.”

“I think you realise how terrifying and scary the world is when you're bringing kids into it.”

“It's a blessing and a curse when your first big public album does so well. 'Twentysomething' sold four million copies - I think we were hoping to sell 80,000. And it's still selling. In some ways, you'll always be defined by that.”

“I don't think of my books as being biographies. I never had any interest in doing a book just to write the life of a great man. I had zero interest in that. My interest is in power. How power works.”

“I'm not fond of biographies. I don't like writing about myself.”

“I've always enjoyed reading history, particularly presidential biographies.”
