I Don't Really Feel I Deserve Something If I Haven't Had To Fight For It. It's Not A Conscious Attitude, And It's Stupid And Wrong. Sometimes You Do Deserve Things Without Having To Put Yourself Through Agony.

A Lot Of People Felt That I Was Just Tying That Into The "i Want Your Sex" Theme Because Of The Aids Thing And The Prospect Of The Song's Being Banned.

I Was Supposed To Be A Real Thatcherite. Just By Dint Of Being A First-generation Immigrant And Having Not Had Money, And Then Suddenly Having It - And Getting On Planes And Going To Ibiza And Sitting Around In Thongs. But Actually Nothing I Was Writing Or Doing Was Even Vaguely Thatcherite.
