There's not much point in getting any heavier... there's too many things to read and look at.

I don't think I did anything that my contemporaries didn't; it was just that I was the only one who talked about it. In the Sixties anyone who had a sense of style seemed to be gay. I wanted to indentify with that.

I'm gay and always have been, even when I was David Jones.

I wish myself to be a prop, if anything, for my songs. I want to be the vehicle for my songs. I would like to colour the material with as much visual expression as is necessary for that song.

I'm bemused by the whole Robbie Williams aspect of British pop. Posh Spice? It all looks like cruise ship entertainment to me.

I've never responded well to entrenched negative thinking.

I don't like people probing into my life, so I reveal as little as possible or lie about it as much as need be so as to give them something to write about.
