“I did feel a bit of an outsider in the Eighties. But there was a market for me out there. New Romantics were totally different.”

“My fans go right across the board. They come to my concerts in family groups.”

“I was in several bands, and we just started off doing the clubs and dancehalls in the valleys - and eventually moved on to the colleges and universities.”

“I'm fascinated by people in their eighties and nineties. Especially those who are still creating and living in an interesting way. I am fascinated by them because they have so much to say now that they've lived for so long.”

“I would love to work into my eighties. I don't want to be someone who only does a couple of big films and then is famous for just 15 minutes.”

“New Wave art was the rage of the eighties. Now it's exhibited in oldies-but-goodies museums, usually in black-and-pink frames.”
