You lose so many material possessions being on the road. You can't get too attached to stuff and you have to remember that people must never become possessions. People are spheres intersecting. You have to make sure that one sphere doesn't ever take over the other. Individuality is absolutely the most important thing

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.

Placebo is music for outsiders, by outsiders and our gigs are like conventions of outcasts, which is cool.

When people hear the word “beautiful”, they expect something to be pretty. And for me that's not always necessarily the case, y'know.

I want to be a better person. I want to be a stronger person. I want to be someone who hurts less.

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.

Don't let small minded people dictate how you should look and be free.
