I have a long history with Soho: even when I was at art college, I came down to Soho to work in the summer.

We just kind saw the images and knew the cliches, so to have the opportunity to go there and learn something about Russian music and about Russian people and to see things apart from being a tourist.

I don't enjoy being a celebrity, I don't want any part of that or any part of that fame for fame... i'd actually rather die than be a celebrity slime!!!

The way the business things work in Russia is you have to meet people, you have to go through a certain amount of etiquette and business things are done just simply by a shake of the hand and whether they like you or not.

I liked the idea of writing a song saying I'm happy with who I am, and I don't mind if people think I'm some old git.

I love this idea of shape-shifting and changing when you put on clothes, and turn into somebody else.

My next record I really just want it to be a collection of great songs, classic songs in a way.
