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

I'm really visually stimulated more than anything. I don't really listen to music. I'm more into watching telly or watching movies and visual art.

There are probably five songs in the world that I get excited about when I hear them on the radio.

I'm sensitive and get easily upset and insulted.

Being hunted, paparazzi-style , doesn't appeal to me.

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

People aren't honest about the horrors of fame. The downsides are so overwhelming that, for me, there is no payoff.
