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

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

There's a difference between 'glamour' and 'glam rock'. Glam rock, to me, is a bunch of straight, hairy, football-liking lager lads dressed up in mother's castoffs and glamour is a certain sophistication, a certain other-worldliness, a certain unattainableness, which I think we certainly calculate. We believe that a band should be slightly larger than life - you should be transported to an alternate reality. I'm giving you some really good answers here, I'm very proud of 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'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.

You would not like me if you knew me.
