Living, It's Awful For Me.

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.

Whenever I'm Home, I Haven't Got Any Makeup On. But Even In The Studio, Before I Do Vocals, I Put Makeup On.

My Earliest Memories Are Sitting On The Beach At Blackpool, And I Know That If I Went Back, It Would Be Horrible. I Know What Blackpool's Like - It's Nothing Like I Imagined It Was As A Child.

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.

I Honestly Don't Class Myself As A Songwriter. I've Got 'musician' Written On My Passport. That's Even Funnier.
