The ultimate revenge is being on Top Of The Pops. |
You put something you like on really loud, and you feel godlike. |
I've always been an outsider; a displaced person. |
I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love. |
Being a woman is really crap. |
If you suffer from depression, anything that makes you feel has to the most important thing in your life, because it's the only thing that can save you. |
Music is a gut thing. You're working in a medium which is more in touch with the primal than the modern. A gig is a ritual. There's a congregation. |
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. |
If you're a musician and an artist, you don't just stop. |
There's a lot of rage... you have to express it somehow. If I didn't express it in song, I'd become incredibly violent. |
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've always craved to belong to somewhere, but I never have and never will. |
Most of my life I've had long periods of feeling down and lost. That's why every five years or so I've smashed my life to pieces and started again. |
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 watched my mother waste her life on housework and swore I'd never do that. Dave does the cooking. |
I consider the Stooges to be pop music. |
I have this massive love for the whole culture of pop music. It's my fascination, my ongoing passion. |
I absolutely hate Take That, East 17, the Spice Girls. |
