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 am what I am. There's nothing I can do about it.

I wasn't part of the Taboo crowd the same way I was part of the New Romantics. I suppose I was seen more as an elder statesman because I had been around the London club scene for so many years. To the Taboo crowd I was really seen as a pop star, someone famous.

Don't talk about things you don't like. Talk about music that you love, books that you've read. I put a lot of recipes online.

I feel like my career has always been a series of collisions and accidents. Being in the right place at the right time. Having the right haircut. It's so mad to think that it happened in the way that it happened.

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.

Karma chameleon: we come and go, we come and go.
