Anyone who thinks they're sexy needs their head checked.

People who make good music aren't necessarily nice people.

Being chronically shy I needed to create a persona for myself and be involved with a band where I could be ruler of my own kingdom. Then Pulp became hugely popular and I lost control of it, which is when it all went wrong.

For me, the great thing about music is that anybody can do it.

I'm always amazed by people who blog all the time and tweet all the time, and still get things done. I don't know how they do it.

If you perform on a stage or you sing a song, it's like you sing your song, and then the words go into the air, and then they go into somebody's body through their ears, so it's kind of like penetrating somebody. It's kind of like having sex with somebody - but, obviously, from a great distance.
