I was about 16 when punk started to happen... It felt like you had this naive idea that you could change things just by wearing something.

I'm not responsible enough to have a dog - or a child.

Certainly for me, when punk exploded in the 1970s, it was just great. We had these wonderful clothes to wear. We could do great things with our hair. We had protest badges that read "I belong to the Blank Generation." It was such a great time to be a kid.

Personality is a real aphrodisiac, when somebody is charming or funny. I think certain jobs attract certain types of people.

On Madonna: She's a gay man trapped in a woman's body.

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'm much more careful now about who I let into my life, but I don't think you could ever change what you're attracted to. You can make choices if you want to be with those people.
