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

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.

I can't remember what the last film I saw was, as I can't smoke or drink in cinemas.

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.

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.
