Every animal would rather die themselves than lose their offspring. But it's just genes, isn't it? All of our existence is spent worrying about the next generation, but we don't actually seem to get anywhere.

I never answer if someone knocks on my door and only the band and my manager have my phone number. In any case my phone doesn't ring so I never notice it. I occasionally just walk past and pick it up to see if anyone's there.

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

If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.

I wore makeup when I was at school, and I wore makeup when glam started. I started wearing it again when punk started. I've always been drawn to wearing it. It's partly ritualistic, partly theatrical and partly just because I think I look better with it on.

I think, at heart, unless you discover faith in something else, something other, it's very hard to shake the thing that you're adrift alone.

Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.
