Dummy Dum Dum was my nickname for years at school. I was the strange one of the family, the one who couldn't remember his name.

Judge not others unless you're prepared to be judged!

I'm not great at dealing with death, I have to say. I find death very hard: my mum, my dad, Sid Vicious. I'm not a monster; I feel it and it scares me. One death at a time, please, is all my heart will bear.

I don't believe in pets. I like animals to be wild and free.

I don't mind dancing the robot if the chemicals are ok, but beyond that the robot will not pull my strings.

I love discordancy. It makes people ill at ease and wakes up a part of their brain that's normally asleep.

I've created several musical trends, really. That's not because I'm so far out and fabulous. It's because most bands have no ideas of their own. They're so desperate they'll grab at any old straw.
