Everybody is trying to be so trendy. I think not being trendy should be the next trend.

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

There is nothing more wonderful in life than seeing life as an adventure. We should all try things that we're afraid of. We should all look very clearly into the unknown and enjoy it. Because when you come in contact with things that you really don't know, that's when you're truly living.

There's a hell of a lot of freedom in this rock and roll circus... it's where all the freaks go - it's the environment for me.

I guess the line between being paranoid and being a rock star is smaller than one would expect.

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.

As musicians it's often difficult. You go to a dinner party and most people treat you like some kind of exotic animal and in a way like you don't have any problems and that it's all fantastic and glamorous and that you wake up in the morning, you kick the groupies out of bed, you roll onto the floor onto a needle, right, which fills you with a lovely substance, you roll into the gutter and you stare at the moon and out comes beautiful poetry. The fact of the matter is that that's nonsense. It's a lot of hard work.
