My style icons were Gwen Stefani, when she was in No Doubt, and then Shirley Manson in Garbage.

The worst thing you can become in life is cynical. Cynical is like concrete. and nothing grows in concrete.

You will never be stylish if you don't take risks.

Music and fashion go hand in hand. I think music inspires all types of arts; it inspires life, emotion, mood, and all of those things are reflected in my fashion and my style. One doesn't go without the other.

Around 1988 I started to 'dread' my hair; because it's curly, it would go into dreads naturally if I stopped combing it. But the dreads went down only one side, so I had to have extensions put in.

I like to be comfortable, but I do enjoy being a British gent and dressing up a bit.
