If you make a mistake, you should enjoy it.
I have suffered from depression for most of my life. It is an illness.
When you work as hard as you can and as much as you can to make your first album, and you don’t make any money, then you change things.
It makes me sad, sad inside, to see a warrior without his pride.
Antidepressants are very good, but it’s a clinical cosh, really. Sometimes you have to be knocked out, just to stop; when you’re in that state all you want to do is just sleep, and rest your body and your brain.
I just became a vegetable for three months. I couldn’t talk to people. I was very ill and that was part of the reason I left college.
When I was sectioned for six months, that was one of the worst experiences of my life, not being able to go out and have freedom. Having experienced it, it’s almost inexplicably awful.
Prison’s a walk in the park compared with being sectioned, mate, it really is.
It’s good to play 100 per cent live – no tricks, no samples, no messing about.
The brain isn’t like the heart. They learned how to transplant a heart. The brain is more complex.
The touring was crazy, it was a lot of work. But I enjoyed it.
I’m a punk rocker. I don’t do Christian.
I watched Picasso visit the Planet of the Apes, as the masters rot on walls and the angels eat the grapes.
To me, style is consistency.
I want to do a make-up line for men.
I think what’s going on with gorillas is pretty bad. The fact is that you can buy gorilla meat in London any day you want it.
I loved being in a band.
I just think, certainly for live music it should look as good as it sounds.
I feel very grateful to be alive and well enough to make music.
There is always room at the top, don’t let them tell you there is not.
Ridicule is nothing to be scared of.
