I've been very, very successful. It's very satisfying to me.
I turned off my Google alerts in 2009 as I learnt that following yourself on the Internet very quickly becomes unhealthy.
I love natural beauty, and I think it's your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.
I'm interested in how identity is transient. How do we know who we really are, when different situations and environments dictate how we behave? I'm interested in the role we all play. We spend our whole lives becoming ourselves when we are born as no one else.
Fake it, fake your confidence until it's real. I think it's a good way to live most of your life.
I've really come into my own as an artist. I'm much more sure of my identity and understand it much better, and have accepted the fact that I like to jump around a lot in terms of who I am and what kind of music I create, and that it is okay - in fact, that is my main identity, the fact that I do that.
There's no one particular road that will lead you to success. I think everybody will find it differently.
I knew that because of who I am, and the situation I'm in, that I'd attract more critics than your average person, and that was a little intimidating, but I wanted to get out there and pay my dues.
Herbert used to say that he was as tight as the paper on the wall.
I deserve all the love you can spare me. And I want a lot more than I deserve.
The man I am will always raise a protest against the man I wanted to be and the two will live together to the end, but the man I wanted to be will be the one on whom judgement will be passed.
