“Interviews can be interesting. A bit like going to a psychiatrist, you...” — David Essex Quote

Interviews can be interesting. A bit like going to a psychiatrist, you know?

I had a furious row with a certain man in charge about the way they wanted to market me in America. They wanted to go very heavily on the teen-idol aspect. I was bemused by that kind of bedroom-poster image, but it was the last thing I wanted to promote.

I just write the music I want to - if people like it that's great, if they don't well that's unfortunate.

Che was a revolutionary, doctor, author, leader and a global symbol. Growing up in the Sixties, his poster, alongside Jimi Hendrix, would be on many a boy's wall. Of course when I played him in the musical, 'Evita,' and researched his life, there was a dark side to the man, but I do admire his idealism.

I think that Jon, historically, is a little bit careless. Just in general, Jon tends to be careless.

I'm a bit of a P. T. Barnum. I make stars out of everyone.

Everything I do is in the gym, so I'm always in gym clothes. I'm excited to explore lifestyle clothes for a little bit.

I do quite naughty things now. I do like to be a bit sexy.

When I look at my clothes, I think of them as an expression of the joy and fun of fashion - with a bit of English eccentricity thrown in.
