I don't find any kind of tension very productive, I find it destructive, actually.

I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.

I was always embarrassed because my dad wore a suit and my mother wore flat pumps and a cozy jumper while my friends' parents were punks or hippies.

A lot of celebrities just want money, fame, power, fancy cars, houses all over the world and have people BOW DOWN to them. To me, that's frightful behaviour.

Mozart was a punk, which people seem to forget. He was a naughty, naughty boy.

People don't associate red hair, pale skin, and freckles with beauty.

I have women who offer to sleep with me all the time. But not men. They're all talk and nay action - as we'd say in Scotland.

I think it's a great thing to have failed in life and then pulled yourself up by the boot straps and actually done something, because then you appreciate it more.

I will try to be non-violent one more day this morning, waking the world away in the violent day.

The discussion about whether photography is or isn't art is dated and of no interest. Your work makes you an artist, not your title.

Theres something so grabbing about people who will do anything for one another.
