I am a weapon of massive consumption

When I hit a period of not being able to write music, I get up and walk away. It's pretty mean but it's true.

I refuse to put make-up on just because the paparazzi are on my doorstep. I find it morally wrong.

I wasn't into anything at school. I used to get really embarrassed. I used to get asked to do performing things, and I'd go to all the rehearsals, and then I'd pretend to be ill on the day I had to actually perform. I was very unhappy at school.

I think as long as you're not being malicious and you're not hurting people then you should not be ashamed of what you do.

I like them old and rich.

People recognize me all the time now, and there's lots of autograph hunting and smiling. But then I get to play gigs, which are amazing. It's a good job.
