I have always had disrupted, broken sleep.

I cannot emphasise enough how important exercise is. I have to do at least a three-mile fast walk a day, usually in the afternoon. Movement is incredibly important in helping my body use up my energy.

I take books on learning to bed - music theory, colour theory - and usually my brain thinks, 'Um, I think I'd rather turn off,' than learn something.

Between 2007 and 2016, I had a large white rabbit called WillyFred. I was happiest pressing my ear to his fur and hearing his heart beat.

I am disproportionately ambitious.

I have always fought against being gender specific. I just don't like being identified as female: I'm a person.

Punk helped musical fringes get attention. Stuff like Nirvana could never have happened without it.

I think Marilyn Manson has a better take on America than Michael Moore and I don't think he's appreciated for his intellect.

I try to eat small meals throughout the day.

I'm not vegetarian. I eat what I crave, but most of the time I don't crave meat.

Getting older doesn't worry me, what does is getting unfit.

I am very wealthy and I could nurture a child very well.

I can't live in a world of dullards. So I think on that level, I'm definitely punk.

I had no interest in people telling me to be feminine, to be ladylike, to wear dresses - it just made me rebel completely.

I just find social media such a robotic experience, whereas punk was right in your face.

I was every mother's nightmare - I was a hair model from 14, and I started coming home with red, blue, green hair.

I was completely unconventional in everything, which my mother found very difficult. I was a huge tomboy.

In 2010 I had to learn to walk again when I had my legs made the same length, after living with one leg two inches longer than the other until the age of 51.

I'm 5ft 1in and despise being small. People think I'm cute and cuddly, and I'm not.
