I've always been very interested in the visual aspect of what I do.

Well, I don't really concern myself too much with what other people make of my work.

Shame is the shadow of love.

You can sing a very aggressive word in such a way that it's very funny. You can change words, completely turn them around on their head so that they mean exactly the opposite of what they are written down. There are endless possibilities which I think Diamanda Galás is doing already. She turns everything upside down by the way she sings it. She makes you feel nauseous or horrified or ridiculous just by her voice. I think that's an incredible power.

I'd want to read the stories that I'd written, I'd want to show the drawings that I made. That was just purely natural. So I knew I wanted to go into the arts in some way and that I'd want to show that work in some way.

I try to see as much dance, theatre and films as I can because all of it feeds me in a way that I need feeding for what I do.

The way I make music is unique to myself and the way I have lived my life - no one else would tell that story in the same way that I do.
