I think there's always been singers like that and i've done my fair share of cheese as well.

I'm always more interested in trying things that will push me, and I don't care if I fall flat on my face doing it.

A lot of the early songs I wrote were about the experience of going to London and meeting rent boys and transvestites and drag queens. A lot of my early material is that: the wide-eyed adventures of a middle-class boy.

I was a magnet for people who want to take advantage of people like me, who think they're part of this life but they're not.

Albums, with me, have never had an easy birth. Especially when all the songs are self-written songs.

People come from all over the world to see this little place they've seen in movies and read about in history books: Soho.

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.
