You should have high expectations for yourself and others should come second.

When you're dressed up as David Bowie, with your eyebrows completely bleached, and you're doing this kind of strange dance with Paul McCartney while singing "Rebel Rebel" in the middle of the Met ball, and Madonna's looking at you . . . I was just thinking, It's become a bit weird.

Touring, and being in a band, it's almost like the other stuff, the other parts of life, get put on hold.

I wanted to be a witch when I was a kid. I was obsessed with witchcraft. At school, me and my two friends had these spell books; I always wanted a more magical reality. I had a little shrine at home and I did a spell to try and make the boy in the other class fall in love with me.

If you see a river running smoothly, it's because someone has drowned in it, and if it's raging, it means that it's still got bloodlust.

I like to wear clothes that I will wear when I am an old lady.

I feel a responsibility to the fans who have paid to see me and I want to give as good a show as I possibly can.
