I got to the end of my first year, and I'd had a f---ing great time - I slept with a lot of loose women, drank far too much alcohol. But what's going to be different in three years? I'm going to be three stone overweight and still want to be a singer. So I grew some testicles and said to my mum and dad, 'I'm coming home, I wanna do what I wanna do'. Thankfully they didn't say, 'We spent a fortune on your education, go and get a f---ing degree!' Nick Atkinson
