Speaking in March 2006, on his former cocaine addiction, a now clean-living Kay says: "I've been off that horrible stuff for two years and two months and I'll tell you I'd never go back."

"I screwed up my lines a bit today on the track...I think I ended up in Iraq or Qatar or somewhere...I was all over the place, it was terrible...I did get the fastest time the day before, but I think my co-driver lost me a couple of places. I blame it on him anyway." (Speaking at the Pro Celebrity race in Bahrain, March 2006).

“Please help the barbaric practice of keeping animals caged in zoos and circuses for the sole purpose of entertaining humans. I find it utterly distressing to see beautiful animals, which should be in the wild, confined and abused, both mentally and physically. We should be ashamed of ourselves.”

“I’ve been taking flying lessons and I’m about to get my licence…. It’s incredible. I want my mates to fly with me but they don’t trust me!”

Having taken two years in the writing and recording of his sixth album, “Dynamite” (2005), Kay admits “I’ve still got so much to prove. You’ve always got something to prove in this game. But the bottom line is I still love it. I love the thrill of seeing a track come together, and with this album we’ve been sitting with tracks, meticulously going through them, changing things, getting it right…. If you haven’t had an album out in four years, you want to have impact, and this says it, I’m back with a vengeance!”

“It’s your fault me and my love Denise split up. I f***ing hate you!” (Speaking of television beauty Denise van Outen, Kay shouts at paparazzo Dennis Gill at 2am, outside London’s Koko club).
