I've got a Facebook page, but I've never put anything on it. I've got a presence on all the social networks, in fact, but I've never once sent a message. I'm there because, otherwise, someone's going to pretend to be me.

I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us.

In some cases, I quite like irritating people who need to be irritated.

I would be more familiar with Janet Jackson than I was with the Teardrop Explodes or Joy Division, because I didn't want to listen to my competitors for fear of nicking ideas off them.

See the ridiculous in everything.

It's only people that aren't goths that think the Cure are a goth band.

I write with a pen and paper. Never on a laptop.
