We were on the cover of Women's Wear Daily, which was hardly rock 'n' roll, but it pleased me.

I'm an atheist. I don't 'believe' at all.

I've always thought that actors wanted to be pop musicians and pop musicians wanted to be actors.

I keep my house tidy, because then I can think clearly. I feel the same about myself. Presenting yourself well is a working-class thing - my dad was a printer, but he wore a tie most days. The ungroomed look belongs more to the middle classes.

Don't see the point in reading ghost-written autobiographies, even though some of these published lives may fascinate me. The 'ghost' is always present, manipulating an interview into first-person singular text, and it feels like I'm reading a lie.

I am a metrosexual and into male grooming - I moisturise, I exfoliate.

I've been through Hell with some of the members of my old band, and Hell is highly stressful.
