I don't really have anything against Will Young or Gareth Gates.

I mean whatever I do it's important that I put my stamp on it and keep it in my world, whether I'm doing a dance track or something like the Russian album for example.

It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.

People always go on about sleaze, but I think it's only a small part of what I write about.

I've always loved the rock & roll element to live shows, because whatever else I do, I'm basically a rock/pop performer, and that's what I like.

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

Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.
