The urge to sing was so strong one day I performed in a club and it was very successful.

People do accuse me of being just decorative or an escapist - well I am. That's what I do. I am other things as well. I transcend the song and give it a different meaning.

A man without makeup is like a cake without icing.

I think I do have my own technique. I don't like to depend on teachers. So I'm walking on my own way, and I try to be as natural as I can. I think it's the only way to be yourself.

I approach everything as an absolute outsider. It is the only way I can break so many rules.

People should allow me to be many things, really give me the room to put things in another dimension.

The way I look is part of it. It sounds affected but I do see myself as a piece of living art.
