I'm being honest, I say what I think.

Leigh [Bowery] obviously loved having me in the club because I would attract media, and he loved and lived for his column inches.

Leigh [Bowery] would make up stories about people committing suicide or going on hunger strikes because they were refused entry at the door.

The band never actually split up - we just stopped speaking to each other and went our own separate ways.

I started going to Madame Louise's, the lesbian club where all the punk bands used to go - the Sex Pistols, the Clash. I remember seeing Billy Idol walk in there; he was gorgeous.

I think drugs played a big role in the Taboo scene. People were taking copious amounts of ecstasy, which had filtered over from New York, and at a certain point you were more likely to spend most of the night in the toilets at the club.

I felt that making records in a traditional way - putting them out in the same way, wasting loads of money - was just a pointless exercise.
