Most of my life I've had long periods of feeling down and lost. That's why every five years or so I've smashed my life to pieces and started again.

I'm quite repulsed by the diva type.

This is what I am. I have periods of enormous self-destructive depression, where I go completely off my trolley and lose all sight of reality and reason.

I'm a crap guitarist and I find it really hard writing on my own.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

Music bypasses the intellect, it makes you laugh, makes you cry, makes you want to dance, makes you want to have sex.

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.
