Soho has got to be at its centre. It's got such a history for rock, pop, poetry, jazz, writers, all those things, and I think it should be valued as such, and protected as this centre for bohemia.

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

The weird thing was that Soft Cell was supposed to have come and gone before I started the album.

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

If you were born by the sea, there's always a magnet that draws you back there.

I've got so much I want to do, and not a lot of time to do it in. People say to me, "You really shouldn't do so many records", because it actually harms your career.

I'm always aware of mortality.
