A biography for Craig Davidhasn’t been written yet.
“If I live my life through nostalgia and what I did in the past and expect to be the new kid people have just discovered again, then unfortunately, I'm creating my own demise.”
“Psychologically, when you've been overweight, you want to achieve the polar opposite.”
“I grew up in Southampton. My mum was a shop assistant; my dad was a carpenter. They broke up when I was eight.”
“I never let anyone know I was insecure about it - it was my own little thing - but I did have a problem being overweight. I always felt people were looking at me in a certain way as opposed to who I really was.”
“I love all my albums... I use the metaphor they're like my children: some do better than others, but you love them all equally.”
“As much as money is important for security, for me, it is worth nothing without music.”
“When I got to the second album, there was an expectation, because we'd sold nearly seven million albums on the first record, that this would do eight or nine.”
“We need to stop thinking the grass is greener on the other side and be happy with the love we have.”
“My songs are a time stamp for a lot of people's lives.”
“I bought a dodgy gold ring off a guy in Southampton. He told me to check it was real gold by heating it up with a lighter and pressing it against my skin, because real gold doesn't burn. I still have the scar on my left hand.”
“I'm a music man.”
“I grew up on dancehall music, and it holds a strong place in my heart.”
“I have admiration for beautiful women.”
“What I like about Kasabian is that it's melody driven.”
“I let the music do the talking, and people are still getting feelings from my songs.”
“I'm a big fan of Usher, and I'd love for us to record together.”
“Me and guitar music is so entwined.”
“I could never have dreamed of picking up an Ivor Novello for anything... but for Songwriter Of The Year, it's just amazing.”
“It's lovely to feel part of a community.”
“Kasabian are wicked. They've got the hit songs, but it's the presence in the performance and the attitude with it that I love.”
