"I like music because ... it allows me to choose the life that I want, rather than accept the life that's given to me." Gary Numan

On the 'life' side, the highlight for me was getting married to Gemma was absolutely the one. She's lovely to look at, but she doesn't like the way she looks. She is the biggest ball of fun personality you'd ever meet. She's absolutely loveable from top to bottom, and everyone that meets her becomes an immediate good friend. She's just fantastic. She has more people skills in her little finger than I'll have in my entire life. She's brilliant with people, naturally friendly and likeable.

I think we compliment each other really well. The things I bring to the relationship are organisation and focus and ambition. She brings kindness and thoughtfulness. She stays in touch with friends, I'm moody, but she's made me a much nicer person, but I'm still nothing compared to her.

She's the person who everyone waits to see at a party, and I just follow behind her. And she thinks it's just for me because I'm famous, but it's not, it's her, but she has no idea. Nothing starts until she's turned up. When you're like me and very quiet and shy and self concious, and not particularly confident, to be with someone with that is really lovely. Because I can be difficult at time, she's the only person I've ever been with who knows how to deal with that - and make me realise I'm being a prat without offending me. There's a delicate way to deal with people who are a bit odd, like me, and she's got it down.
