Luckily, I'm not one of those people who wants to be young; it's never bothered me.
My mother and father were fantastic, very active. I find it difficult to say this, but I'm quite a loving person and I've always been loving to my friends. In the long run, that pays off. I'm very interested in other people, and if you are, they're interested in you.

I started going to Madame Louise's, the lesbian club where all the punk bands used to go - the Sex Pistols, the Clash. I remember seeing Billy Idol walk in there; he was gorgeous.

I knew style and content went hand in hand.
Part of me looks at the gay movement now and worries that we're losing our individuality.
