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

You put something you like on really loud, and you feel godlike.

I come from the home-grown punk ethic, where it doesn't matter if you can't play a note, it's how you communicate.

I'm absolutely obsessed with The Jesus And Mary Chain and Patti Smith, but I'm a massive pop fan. I love pop culture, It's a total reflection of the zeitgeist.

There's a lot of rage you have to express it somehow. If I didn't express it in song, I'd become incredibly violent.

The ultimate revenge is being on Top Of The Pops.

Music is a gut thing. You're working in a medium which is more in touch with the primal than the modern. A gig is a ritual. There's a congregation.
