Working with David Bowie was very interesting, but I couldn't surrender to it. I should have let him produce a record for me, but I'm very perverse in some ways. He's brilliant, but the entourage were rather daunting.

I have always been attracted to the bleaker aspects of life. I love drama.

I once asked my father what he wanted me to be. To my horror, he said, 'sociologist.'

If you analyze the bad times you find that it's because you wanted to have a bad time.

I'm never, never sure which way to go. I'm full of unsureness. That's been a habit for years. I never really want to commit.

I was told that I had very likely been clinically depressed for a long, long time, probably since I was 15, or even 14. It explained, to me at least, a lot of my behaviour over the years.

I do have a strong sense of God. It's impossible to explain what I mean when I say that, of course.
