I think that if you become a parent, you stop being a child, and your position in relation to your parents changes.

I had no desire to be famous; I just wanted to make the greatest music ever made. I didn't want anyone to know who I was.

My earliest memories are sitting on the beach at Blackpool, and I know that if I went back, it would be horrible. I know what Blackpool's like - it's nothing like I imagined it was as a child.

If you acquiesce to one interview, there's always another waiting in the wings. Also if you're interviewed repeatedly, you just start repeating yourself. I don't like to do that.

But everyone I know reaches a point where they throw out their arms and go beserk for a while; otherwise you never know what your limits are. I was just trying to find mine.

I became an adult in an extreme way. I was recently sorting some old photographs and I found another.

I am very self-conscious a lot of the time.
