everyday littles used
I used to fly off the handle in everyday life, but I'm a little calmer now.
mirrors personality sides
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.
football mother believe
There's a difference between 'glamour' and 'glam rock'. Glam rock, to me, is a bunch of straight, hairy, football-liking lager lads dressed up in mother's castoffs and glamour is a certain sophistication, a certain other-worldliness, a certain unattainableness, which I think we certainly calculate. We believe that a band should be slightly larger than life - you should be transported to an alternate reality. I'm giving you some really good answers here, I'm very proud of myself.
being-yourself individuality proud
Imitation is the highest form of flattery, but clones kind of get it wrong because we are promoting individuality and being proud of being yourself.
dresses social stage
Dresses, I find, are impractical in social situations, but I enjoy wearing them a great deal on stage.
names people important
Names for bands lose their meaning after a little while. They become a series of sounds that you associate with people in music, really. The most important thing about choosing a name for a band is if you can imagine forty-thousand people screaming it in unison.
believe black-and-white desire
I believe very strongly that when it comes to desire, when it comes to attraction, that things are never black and white, things are very much shades of grey.
sex thinking should-have
I am very lustful. I am in this fortunate or unfortunate position being bisexual in that I have twice as many people to lust over. So i can get hard on tour. I dont think lust is a sin - People should have sex as much and in as many situations as possible. Then theyd be less uptight..
thinking trying trends
Everybody is trying to be so trendy. I think not being trendy should be the next trend.
jesus hate light
I'd be interested in finding out if there is a light you walk into, and if you do meet people from your life and walk hand in hand with Jesus. I would hate for my death to be tragic: I'd like to be old when it happens. But hopefully a young death is unlikely.
girl swings way
If I was a girl I'd still swing both ways anyway.
sex confused mean
I think what you have to realise is that our generation is the first generation since its sexual awakening has come into the world and realised that sex can mean, ultimately, death. That has had a very serious effect on social morals and on the way people deal with each other. As we approach the millennium, people are getting more and more confused and contact is getting more and more sanitised, so there's a lot more mental games being played.
eye boys role-models
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.
artistic misfits social
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.
