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

To be taken seriously about doing something creative and probably travel a lot. That was my motivation. I knew I was good, I knew I could write. I also knew you could get laid really easily.

Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming.

There seem to be a lot of black artists making very good videos that I'm surprised aren't being used on MTV.

I could never have done what I did without being involved with Lindsay Kemp's company.

I surrounded myself with people who indulged my ego. They treated me as though I was Ziggy Stardust or one of my characters, never realising that David Jones might be behind it.

I'm in awe of the universe, but I don't necessarily believe there's an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative, whether Buddhist or Catholic.
