sex thinking missing
What's missing is the music. I'd like to rant on and on about the music, the mechanics of it. It's what I think about 90 per cent of the day. I don't think about getting high all the time. I guess I do think about sex a lot, though...
desire songwriting
A lot of what has pushed me forward is desire, and I have expressed that in my songwriting - perhaps because it's safer!
change tired confusing
Schizophrenic is the best word - I change from day to day. I can be quite confusing. Indecisive, workaholic, and tired today.
used weirdo magnet
I'm a weirdo magnet, but I'm handling it better than I used to.
strange advocating bubbles
We live in a strange bubble.
being-in-love freak
I love being a freak. It's great!
hangover mean mirrors
When every day became a hangover and when you look at yourself in the mirror and go 'I don't like how you're coming across to people.' and when every day just started to feel the same. After the 50th shag, it doesn't mean so much anymore.
limp-bizkit jokes
I'm really bad with jokes. I would have to say Limp Bizkit.
everyday littles used
I used to fly off the handle in everyday life, but I'm a little calmer now.
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.
