I get given loads of rubbish. So, I have two Alanis Morissette records which I hide when anyone with taste calls around.
I’d like to be more of a bad influence than a role model. I’m getting lots of boys to wear eye-liner again which is good.
You would not like me if you knew me.
The extreme side of my personality, which I chose to sort of display, was snowballing and getting a life of its own. It was like looking in a mirror and not recognising myself.
The more you’ll dress up the more fun you’ll have.
I’ve always found music that is carnal very attractive but not in the most obvious way.
I was always a bit of a loose cannon, then again I was always the artistic one: bit of a social misfit. I probably still am.
Stef is officially the sexiest member of Placebo.
I like the fact that people either think I’m incredibly gorgeous or flippin ugly.
I’m tired of being around men all the time. I’m going to start a band called Skirt with three girls and I’ll play the guitar and sing backing vocals in drag. I went window shopping when I was in New York, saw a lot of amazing dresses.
Schizophrenic is the best word – I change from day to day. I can be quite confusing. Indecisive, workaholic, and tired today.
A lot of what has pushed me forward is desire, and I have expressed that in my songwriting – perhaps because it’s safer!
Dresses, I find, are impractical in social situations, but I enjoy wearing them a great deal on stage.
Music is about expressing things you can’t in everyday life.
I love being a freak. It’s great!
When every day became a hangover and when you look at yourself in the mirror and go ‘I don’t like how you’re coming across to people.’ and when every day just started to feel the same. After the 50th shag, it doesn’t mean so much anymore.
Being so honest in my writing is cathartic.
I’m a weirdo magnet, but I’m handling it better than I used to.
We live in a strange bubble.
I had a great deal of arrogance and a great deal of bravado, but I think the bravado was brought on by a huge insecurity.
