I felt very grown up when I was wearing makeup, thank you very much.

I think pop culture is the greatest subject matter out there - 'Other People's Lives,' as we wrote about on the last Duran Duran album. Most ideas for great songs come from real situations, something your friend said to you the night before, the girl that just left, or something traumatic in your life.

You listen to a piece of music and it will remind you of something - it might make you happy, it might make you sad, but it is very emotive. And I think that Duran Duran have always understood that.

Women's fashion is more interesting than men's.

Style has always been very important to us. We grew up in the '70s. Music was glam rock, punk rock and a very stylish movement.

For me, a bit of anthropology in the evening is always better than staying and watching the telly.

If you look at the content of songs people write, it's usually about the things they know best.
