I'm not sure that an art career would have any benefit for me; I'm not sure it's what I want. I don't think I want to be a designer-rock artist.

The name Bowie just appealed to me when I was younger. I was into a kind of heavy philosophy thing when I was 16 years old, and I wanted a truism about cutting through the lies and all that.

The younger people get into the lyrics in a different way; there's much more of a tactile understanding, which is the way I prefer it.

I probably also wanted to be black at that particular time [ 9 years old] as well.

My father worked for a children's home called Dr. Barnardo's Homes. They're a charity.

There's a starman waiting in the sky, he'd like to come and meet us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds.

I re-invented my image so many times that I'm in denial that I was originally an overweight Korean woman.
