Touring with Iggy Pop was something to do. It was good fun. I got drunk a lot.

My sexual nature is irrelevant. I'm an actor, I play roles, fragments of myself.

I'm English. I can't accept happiness that easily. There's got to be a trick in there somewhere.

My mother was a housewife. Both from - well, my father was from a farming family, agricultural family in the north of England. And my mother came from a very working class.

I hate albums that are really happy. When I am really happy, I don't like to hear happy albums, and when I am really sad I don't wanna hear happy albums... and I tend to gravitate towards the lonely and isolated anyway when I write.

The truth is of course is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time.

I was told that it was cool to fall in love, and that period was nothing like that to me. I gave too much of my time and energy to another person and they did the same to me and we started burning out against each other. And that is what is termed love.
