I don't want to be famous, or recognizable.

I'm an advocate of 'it's not what you are, it's who you are.'

I'm a fan of the Strokes, so my big fantasy was that one day I would get to sing with them.

I'm 39, and I would like to be able to make great pop music for another 20 years. And it feels like creating a sort of inanimate blond bob and allowing other people to play the role of the pop singer, it affords me a little bit more freedom in terms of my expiration date.

I don't go to shows because I just want to listen to the music performed live. I want to get to know the person who's performing it. Or I want to, like, take away a sense that I had an experience that nobody else is going to have again, or a unique experience for that moment.

It was really shocking to me that when I was dating a dude I could get married and my taxes were 8 grand less, blah blah blah.

I don't really even go out that much now except to walk my dogs, because I don't want to be recognised.
