I'm very, very open to experimenting with different people and trying to find different methods of writing and making music.

If you gave me a fresh carnation, I would only crush its tender petals.

Everyone gets frustrated and aggressive, and I'd sooner take my aggression out on a guitar than on a person.

I never, ever wanted to be the Rolling Stones. Bless their hearts, but I dont necessarily want to go on doing the same old thing for the next 10, 20 years... I could see how easy it is to get into that rut, the whole touring mindset.

In the past we used to come over to see what was going on in London or Paris or Milan or wherever - it's pretty much the same stuff everywhere [now], and people are wearing the same things, because it's all instantaneous with the Internet.

You do your runway show, and it's all over the Internet before I see anything on there.

In my world [of fashion] there's more things that kind of affect it. There's the retailers we do business with, our own stores, my merchandising team... Everybody has opinions, and so you definitely have to filter through a lot.
