“I'm a self-obsessed son-of-a-bitch, really. Hopefully it makes for good records. People buy them, so I must be doing something right. But I'd really love it if I had the creative power to write about other people.”
“The day I wrote this I played it to my then girlfriend and I had closed my eyes to sing it. . . . When I opened them again she was curled up in a ball in the corner of the room -- still, time heals all wounds.”
“I feel like I'm always having to justify why I haven't kept in touch with anyone from the old days in Stoke-on-Trent, but I'm like that with anybody. I don't let anybody in. I just rely on myself.”
“It's always good to get a video banned, people want to see it more. That's how it works. Mind you, it is a bit disturbing. I don't think I'd let me watch it if I was 7 years old. The video's very graphic. I have sex with two girls, and then it looks like I'm having sex with men.”
“I had to stop drinking. The thing was, I didn't know how to do it. I needed to be dowsed in cold water and told not to be silly, so that's what I did in rehab-I dowsed myself in cold water and told myself not to be silly! And I'm also quite spiritual, which helps me look after myself. I meditate every day, and I pray every morning and evening.”
“I've got a fear for yellow snow. It's usually outside the gents toilet! I'm scared of falling off buildings too, especially when you reach the bottom.”
