I've had several really tangible dreams about UFOs, and they've been amazing!

Being a mod is more of a sensibility than a style.

You could say I'm a mod, but with a small 'm'; I don't wear a parka, but I do question what I wear and what I listen to, which is what it's all about.

Name anything - high-definition TV, computer obsolescence - and I'm pretty much annoyed by it.

I'm not posh or common, I'm in between.

I love that pre-mod jazz look of the late Fifties, the Steve McQueen style that influenced the British modernists.

Most people have a passive relationship with music and clothes, with culture. But music was my first contact with anything creative. Music is it, as far as I'm concerned.

Every language has influences and is an influence.

When a feminist as strident as Garofalo is defending the Hussein regime, you have to wonder if her newfound sobriety has hit a rough patch.

I've learned so much, so very much about myself in defeat. I've learned very little to nothing in victory.

For me, heaven is likely to be a bit of a come-down.

When it comes to performing and entertaining, the art removes itself from the writing.

It's great to have someone to bounce off of.

Asthma doesn't seem to bother me any more unless I'm around cigars or dogs. The thing that would bother me most would be a dog smoking a cigar.

Why can’t I try on different lives, like dresses, to see which fits best and is more becoming?
