interesting long people
As long as ugly people are not on TV, you should only ever have interesting people on TV.
good-day thinking one-day
That's the way I work and one day I won't have the energy to do it, so I think it's always good to make the most of your life and living as much as possible.
cells squash gone
The weird thing was that Soft Cell was supposed to have come and gone before I started the album.
hands russia people
The way the business things work in Russia is you have to meet people, you have to go through a certain amount of etiquette and business things are done just simply by a shake of the hand and whether they like you or not.
song
That's what I like to do, I like to make songs.
eyebrows long platforms
Russians have a new freedom, but as long as they don't express that freedom on a public platform.
artist people albums
What was great about the 80s was that you still had record companies who would get behind developing you as an artist. You had these bonkers heads of department and A&R people who, even after a flop album, would let you make another one.
teenage school broken
I was very much a mess, as a person. I'd come from a very turbulent teenage life, with parents who had broken up in a very bad way, and a lot of illness at school.
song moving writing
I can imagine moving out to the seaside at some point. I like Brighton, my sister lives there. I'm a seaside boy and whenever I go there, I find myself writing songs about it.
cities soho london
On my Instagram, I'm always keeping a record of things being pulled down in Soho and shutters being closed. Every city - and London more than anywhere - has got to be a vibrant mix of all different things. We can't allow it to become a monoculture.
ideas clothes shifting
I love this idea of shape-shifting and changing when you put on clothes, and turn into somebody else.
mortality
I'm always aware of mortality.
today way generations
A lot of youth today have become very narrow and conservative in a way, whereas we in the older generation are kind of living it.
growing-up let-it-go way
Sometimes, with autobiographies, it turns into a bit of score-settling. And looking back, I don't feel the way I did then, and you kind of grow up and let it go behind you.
