I've always been an outsider; a displaced person.

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.

Fashion goes round in circles.

I have this massive love for the whole culture of pop music... It's my fascination, my on-going passion.

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.

When do you know you're insane? And when do you known you're sane? I think I treat a fine line between the two. It's a battle to function, but somehow I manage.

I've seen many of my contemporaries become superstars, and the way fame and fortune starts to really affect the way they treat other people, and I think it's ugly.
