I look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I'm going to jump the counter.

Whenever I'm home, I haven't got any makeup on. But even in the studio, before I do vocals, I put makeup on.

I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us.

It's a perfect day for letting go.

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've got a Facebook page, but I've never put anything on it. I've got a presence on all the social networks, in fact, but I've never once sent a message. I'm there because, otherwise, someone's going to pretend to be me.

I'd like to record somewhere really different. Rent a really big house and get a mobile in and set up in the dining room. Maybe New England it'd be nice in September or October.

Hendrix was the first person I had come across who seemed completely free, and when you're nine or 10, your life is entirely dominated by adults. So he represented this thing that I wanted to be. Hendrix was the first person who made me think it might be good to be a singer and a guitarist - before that I wanted to be a footballer.

There may be said to be three sorts of lawyers, able, unable, and lamentable.

I've never regretted not having children. My mindset in that regard has been constant. I objected to being born, and I refuse to impose life on someone else.

Performing doesn't come that naturally to me, even though I've done it for years.
