I found it hard to make friends in school, because I was a cerebral person.

I regret trusting The Guardian. I didn't want to do an interview, but the journalist was persistent. [The writer] was masked as a fan, but was hiding sinister ambitions and angles. Maybe he's actually the boring one looking for something interesting to write about.

It takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it, to know what true freedom is.

I used to like to set different film clips to classical music, not even my own songs, but make little movies.

A lot of what's been written about me is not true: of my family history or my choices or my interests. Actually, I've never read anything written about me that was true. It's been completely crazy.

I believe in the person I want to become.

It's amazing what happens when you put your interests out into the universe and make it known what you want.
