I'm tired of being around men all the time. I'm going to start a band called Skirt with three girls and I'll play the guitar and sing backing vocals in drag. I went window shopping when I was in New York, saw a lot of amazing dresses.

I like the fact that people either think I'm incredibly gorgeous or flippin ugly.

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

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.

My mouth has a tendency to get me into trouble, but because I'm so small and I take on people who are lager than me. If someone punched me, I'd get my drummer beat them up.

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

I had quite a religious upbringing. I gave my life over to Christ at 11. I took it back when I was about 14.
