I've always been politically minded, you know, and against the status quo.

I've withdrawn many times. Part of me is a monk, and part a performing flea! The fear in the music business is that you don't exist if you're not at Xenon with Andy Warhol.

The only reason I went for that goal is that I wanted to say: 'Now, mummy-daddy, will you love me?'

I wanted to give five solid years of being there all the time (with Sean). I hadn't seen my first son Julian grow up, and now there's a 17-year-old man on the phone talking about motorbikes. No matter what artistic gains I get, or gold records, if I can't make a success out of my relationship with the people I love, then everything else is bullsh*t.

paranoia is just a heightened sense of awareness

Imagine no possessions; I wonder if you can.

I wanna hold your gland.
