In the '80s, we played the Roxy and the Whiskey with our bands.

I have this problem that I just like to get a reaction from people.

I don't mind the fact that people hate me. Nobody likes anyone who's been on the telly as long as I have.

Even though the hero of emo is Morrissey, the great song of emo is 'Love Will Tear Us Apart.' An emo soundtrack would introduce Joy Division's music to a whole new generation.

I hate English kids rapping - complete crap.

We had a heroic attitude to artistic freedom, and we thought normal contracts were a bit vulgar - somehow not punk. But that was the whole point - we weren't a regular record label.

My public image is none of my business.

I'm going to be the next David Frost.

I am very much an only child, meaning I am self-reliant, egocentric, sociable. I had my mother, father, and an uncle who lived with us, all doting on me.

I've been a minor celebrity since I was 23 years old.
