Charlotte Gainsbourg

"I'm always dissatisfied. Always. Not so much with the work, more with myself. I have so many doubts that they constantly pull me down but now I can see that this is my way of working. The self-questioning is my method. I've realised that I like being unbalanced. I like feeling insecure. To be able to do one take and be crap and then another and be great, that's the rollercoaster I like." Charlotte Gainsbourg

Morrissey

"I am still my teenage self. If you think that we all step through a door marked Adult, or that we sign a Grown-Up Document, you’re quite wrong. We remain as we always were, and that, alas, is one of life’s many nasty tricks." Morrissey

Dai Henwood

"I once performed at a Pak 'n Save as Ches of Ches and Dale from the Chesdale Cheese ad. I had to sing the Chesdale Cheese jingle while being mocked by small children." Dai Henwood

Chan Marshall

“Now that I’m 40, I want to be happy like I was when I was a kid flipping on the trampoline listening to Van Halen’s ‘Jump.’ I want to remember how to be happy like I was when I was able to roller-skate backwards... When I walked out of the mental ward at Mount Sinai, I realized that my life was in my hands. I realized it was my responsibility to live my life." Chan Marshall

Quentin Crisp

"There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years, the dirt doesn't get any worse. It's just a question of keeping your nerve." Quentin Crisp

Yves St Laurent

"I'd really like to be in closer contact with life. I'm a little too distant, I guess. I like to place myself outside." Yves St Laurent

Judy Blume

"Censors don’t come near you unless they know kids like your books. They’re not sitting there reading all of the books. They are waiting until they find out if kids like it first." Judy Blume

Ally Sheedy

"Everyone was wearing designer clothes and kissing ass at parties, where all the people were disgusting. I hate bullshit. People are most themselves when they’re honest. And when you don’t want anything, you can be very honest.” Ally Sheedy

Lawrence Arabia (aka James Milne)

"Amount of time spent per week agonising over the placement of exclamation marks in emails? Three hours." Lawrence Arabia
