When do you know you're insane? And when do you known you're sane? I think I treat a fine line between the two. It's a battle to function, but somehow I manage.

Being a woman is really crap.

I absolutely hate Take That, East 17, the Spice Girls.

I consider the Stooges to be pop music.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

We were signed to a label that wanted us to remain little girls who appealed to other little girls, who were cute and non-threatening.

You put something you like on really loud, and you feel godlike.

I really, really love music. I'm affected by it and uplifted by it, and made to laugh and cry, and almost fall in love with the person who has made me feel so brilliant and communicated so profoundly to me.

I'm still grappling with all the things most people resolve by the time they're 35. Maybe that's why I make music that is relevant to young people. I'm emotionally stuck at the age of 13.
