“I first met Damon the day before Blur’s album, Leisure, came out. We didn’t really get on very well at all for years, but then we both needed somewhere to live as we had split up from people at the same time. He wanted my opinion on a flat he was going to buy in Westbourne Grove, west London, and when I went to look at it with him he said, ‘Do you want to live here as well?’ When I started sharing with him I was a little OCD - a bit clean and organised - while he was a total messy bastard. He used to have a pile of clothes in his bedroom that was just like that mountain of rubbish in Close Encounters. He is the sort of person who will sit down and money will fall out of his pocket. I am the total opposite. So the two of us living together was very therapeutic for us both - I relaxed a bit and he got more together, and of course we ended up doing the impossible, creating a cartoon band, Gorillaz.”
