They're my positive chaos, my children.

I don't believe in any kind of artistic snobbery or musical snobbery. You know, to me, the sexiest and the most spiritual words ever uttered in rock and roll are wop babaloo balop bam boom.

If you were the boss of a company and some of the employees of your company were known to sexually abuse children, you would fire them instantly.

I don't agree with this romantic fantasy that people who suffer from depression are more likely to be artists. I find that I am more creative when I am happy actually.

Generally I don't listen to sad songs if I'm sad. I listen to happy songs.

Look at all our old men in pubs. Look at all our young people on drugs.

I grew up in a situation of extreme abuse, but there was no chance to talk about it, so music became the escape if you like.
