A lot of people these days are not music lovers - they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.

We should never listen to our feelings. They lead us astray.

I've always been an outsider. I am an outsider in Garbage. I'm the odd one out by default.

My solo album is dead and buried. We had the funeral. It was sad and I cried a lot but it made such a beautiful corpse that we had an open casket.

I think young artists are always inspiring because they are coming at worlds from a different point of view.

I feel privileged, to be honest.

I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.
