I come from the home-grown punk ethic, where it doesn't matter if you can't play a note, it's how you communicate.

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

If you're a musician and an artist, you don't just stop.

I consider the Stooges to be pop music.

It's refreshing to hear something that's pop but doesn't sound like Britney Spears.

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

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.
