I can't read music and I'm crap at learning lyrics. Especially since the accident I have memory problems. I can't remember words, names, places.

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

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.

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 think in the past I think I probably was a little too diverse, probably went from one spectrum to the complete opposite and confusing people.

I like situations that force me to rethink things.

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