I really can't break away from wearing black and leather!

My song-writing has always been just about my life - usually my worst moments.

I don't listen to music, actually. Obviously I go to clubs; I stand in elevators; a lot of my friends are musicians; I hear music all the time. But I don't have my own collection of music.

I was born in Bradford, a city in the north of England that God forgot about. A place where most people never leave, but if they do, they certainly never go back.

All the best parts of art come from pain turned to celebration.

If people go into music with the idea of competing with other artists, then they're doing it for all the wrong reasons.

I don't really know what 'a dark place' means. I have windows in my house, and I'm generally an upbeat person! A lot of people throw that word at me because I wear a lot of black and leather.
