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 believe people are still wonderful in hating. They hate what they don't understand, they hate each other. No matter what anyone says, this world is still not a bit more tolerante than it was before.

I get given loads of rubbish. So, I have two Alanis Morissette records which I hide when anyone with taste calls around.

Dresses, I find, are impractical in social situations, but I enjoy wearing them a great deal on stage.

If Placebo was a drug, they would no doubt be pure heroin - dangerous, mysterious and totally addictive.

Well, the real sex organ is between the ears, not between the legs

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