I'm still grappling with all the things most people resolve by the time they're 35. Maybe that's why I make music that is relevant to young people. I'm emotionally stuck at the age of 13.

I've tended to avoid meeting my heroes. They aren't necessarily the nicest people anyway. The exception was George Harrison, one of the loveliest men I've ever met. He lent me his home studio to make Hormonally Yours.

Life is a process of working out what's not working for you and disentangling yourself from it and trying then not walk into the same thing again. Watching your patterns and correcting them if you can.

Pop music allows you to be who you are without having to wear a social uniform or to conform, which some people find impossible to do.

I'm quite repulsed by the diva type.

The ultimate revenge is being on Top Of The Pops.

I've always craved to belong to somewhere, but I never have and never will.
