I always hate explaining away songs, because for me they mean something, and for other people, they'll mean something absolutely different.

If you go into the eastern bloc countries we are huge, and in Russia. Maybe there is something about the depressing nature of our music and lyrics that some people find an affinity with.

If you repeat yourself, then I think you're in danger of losing that fan base, because if you're not interesting yourselves, you're not interesting your audience.

I will be the focal point for however long I decide to play. Half of me likes that idea and half of me doesn't, but once the adrenaline kicks in, I'll probably really enjoy it.

I lead two totally separate lives. There are times when I have to slip into rock star mode.

I don't think I've ever tried to be anything other than a weirdo.

I wasn't ever a massive David Essex fan, but I liked a few of his tracks, and Stardust was one of them.
