I have an unswayable obsession with death. If there was a magical pill that one could take that would retire you from the world, I would take it.

Artists aren't really people. And I'm actually 40 per cent papier mache.

Although I don't have anything against people from other countries, the higher the influx into England the more the British identity disappears.

I have no love for myself as a human being, but I have immense pride in the music I make.

I don't mind if you forget me. Having learned my lesson, I never left an impression on anyone.

I've gone through managers like people go through shredded wheat. Nobody looks after you.

Age gives you a great sense of proportion. You can be very hard on yourself when you're younger but now I just think 'well everybody's absolutely mad and I'm doing quite well'.
