Sixty Favourite People 2011 (in alphabetical order) |  #17 Graham Coxon

“I wish I’d known my own worth. One thing someone once told me was, when you’re at your darkest and you feel there’s no end, you have to tell yourself that it’s temporary – everyone has a right to be happy no matter who they are. It’s easy for me to say now but it’s true. I liked alcohol because I found it made my social inadequacy retreat. I could communicate better, it made my brain smile. I wish I hadn’t been so mardy – I was in my twenties, in one of the biggest bands in Britain. It should be a criminal act for a young guy like me to feel as lonely as I did.”
