I was weirdly obsessed with music until I was 11, and then I turned into a nerd.

Worst music ever sells millions. The worst music with the shittiest lyrics. The fact is that they pay radio stations to put it on the radio, then you've heard it a million times when you're driving from your shitty job to your shitty house. It's indoctrination, it's sad.

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

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

I'm sort of a gay man trapped in a woman's body when it comes to music sometimes - it's crowded in here!
