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.

I’m not religious but I’m definitely very spiritual person. I’ve always said that religion is for people who are scared of ending up in hell. Spirituality is for those who’ve already been there.

I'm continually surprised by the amount of people I wind up. For many guys, I'm the faggot their girlfriend fancies.

I feel very comfortable with the way I look, and I feel very comfortable with the kind of confusion that it creates in people's minds.

A lot of what has pushed me forward is desire, and I have expressed that in my songwriting - perhaps because it's safer!

I think the scariest addiction on this planet is to alcohol. Because alcohol is a very addictive drug, and it ruins families, it ruins relationships. And it is socially acceptable, and it is easy to find. Controlled substances, other drugs are more difficult to get, and it's a crime to... to buy them. But alcohol is everywhere. And if you are unfortunate enough to become addicted to it, it can be disastrous. And there is still a stigma attached to alcohol addiction, or addiction in general. It is perceived as... an addict is perceived as somebody of weak moral fiber

Good conversation turns me on. A connection between two people, a mental one first.
