I Am Very Self-conscious A Lot Of

It Has Always Seemed Slightly Uncomfortable, The Idea Of Politicised Musicians. Very Few Of Them Are Clever Enough To Do It; If They're Good At The Political Side, The Music Side Suffers, And Vice Versa.

I've Always Spent More Time With A Smile On My Face Than Not, But The Thing Is, I Don't Write About It.

I Wore Makeup When I Was At School, And I Wore Makeup When Glam Started. I Started Wearing It Again When Punk Started. I've Always Been Drawn To Wearing It. It's Partly Ritualistic, Partly Theatrical And Partly Just Because I Think I Look Better With It On.

I Married Somebody Who Likes The Way I Look. If I Changed My Hair Every Year, And I Reinvented Myself In Time-honoured Pop Fashion, I Think Understandably The Person I'm Married To Would Grow Slightly Sick Of Me.

I Had No Desire To Be Famous; I Just Wanted To Make The Greatest Music Ever Made. I Didn't Want Anyone To Know Who I Was.
