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.

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.

I absolutely hate Take That, East 17, the Spice Girls.

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

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

I'm a hopeless mother; a hopeless wife; I have to try harder. I'm just a pathetic case history, really.

Depression scares people off. It makes me laugh that it has that kind of effect.
