You can't live in your own secluded world. If you're not on the Tube, on the bus doing normal things, how can you relate to people?

I have a high tolerance for discomfort.

We're all the same. We all want the same thing in life. Everybody going around like ants and we all want the same thing. And it's not one queen. It's not one queen with the wings.

I didn't have a particular persona. I'm not Alice Cooper, you know?

I love escaping into character. It's a chance to try on people that you wouldn't be brave or stupid enough to be in real life.

Life does throw some hard stuff at you as you get older, much harder. But you are more able to deal with things.
