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.

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 really, really love music. I'm affected by it and uplifted by it, and made to laugh and cry, and almost fall in love with the person who has made me feel so brilliant and communicated so profoundly to me.

I consider the Stooges to be pop music.

If you suffer from depression, anything that makes you feel has to the most important thing in your life, because it's the only thing that can save you.

I love to sing old Motown songs to myself, or some Patti Smith Edith Piaf or Billie Holiday. That gets me in the mood for singing.

No stranger ever comes up and talks to me. I'm the invisible woman.
