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

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

Names for bands lose their meaning after a little while. They become a series of sounds that you associate with people in music, really. The most important thing about choosing a name for a band is if you can imagine forty-thousand people screaming it in unison.

Music is about expressing things you can't in everyday life.
