I had a great deal of arrogance and a great deal of bravado, but I think the bravado was brought on by a huge insecurity.

There's a hell of a lot of freedom in this rock and roll circus... it's where all the freaks go - it's the environment for me.

You would not like me if you knew me.

We live in a strange bubble.

I was always a bit of a loose cannon, then again I was always the artistic one: bit of a social misfit. I probably still am.

I'd like to be more of a bad influence than a role model. I'm getting lots of boys to wear eye-liner again which is good.

The extreme side of my personality, which I chose to sort of display, was snowballing and getting a life of its own. It was like looking in a mirror and not recognising myself.
