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.
thinking rocks soho
Soho has got to be at its centre. It's got such a history for rock, pop, poetry, jazz, writers, all those things, and I think it should be valued as such, and protected as this centre for bohemia.
people harsh bits
Maybe I was a bit harsh on some people. But I was harshest on myself, really.
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.
rocks elements pops
I've always loved the rock & roll element to live shows, because whatever else I do, I'm basically a rock/pop performer, and that's what I like.
book people soho
People come from all over the world to see this little place they've seen in movies and read about in history books: Soho.
song
That's what I like to do, I like to make songs.
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.
cells squash gone
The weird thing was that Soft Cell was supposed to have come and gone before I started the album.
eyebrows long platforms
Russians have a new freedom, but as long as they don't express that freedom on a public platform.
thinking europe interesting
I thinks it really interesting how they throw the world music samples in there. I often wonder what it would be like to do something like that, but use my lyrics and my kind of style.
thinking singers cheese
I think there's always been singers like that and i've done my fair share of cheese as well.
thinking russia sometimes
Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.
