A few years ago my goal was to try and get the goddamned album made, which put me in a real bad frame of mind.

I think I'm being friendly with someone and I'll sit in their lap. They think I'm flirting with them.

I love to have a bath with beautiful, relaxing music on and have no rush to do anything. It's a wonderful indulgence, and it helps me to calm down and stop my mind running overtime.

I never say never about a lot of things. Whatever you want, then more power to you. If someone feels they have to live up to a certain image, then I can kind of understand that pressure because I'm considered to be one of those images, and I know how unreal they are.

Part of me is a sexual exhibitionist.

You know, songs often have a very coloured past. They might have something about them but it still doesn't work, so someone else adds a bit, and someone else adds a bit so perhaps one day I'll know its full history.

I am in love with my La Cornue custom-made stove - it's a dream to use and my favourite part of the kitchen.
