I think these days, as an artist, you have to be slightly entrepreneurial. ...Nobody really sells records anymore.

I suppose all of those New Romantic clubs were quite up their own asses in a way. Well, Taboo was up its own ass in a different way, but not in terms of rules.

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.

What's really sad is that a lot of very talented people are being forced to do things that are very embarrassing and I don't intend to be one of them.

For me, touring is about looking after myself.

Very few people can truly divorce themselves from what they feel emotionally and sexually.

Most of my influences are from the past.
