-On how Helen helps his creativity: “We just motivated each other as friends. She pushes me. I push her.”
-On his Vivienne Westwood hat: “I remembered (Malcolm McLaren’s) Buffalo Gals video, where he wears the hat. I actually wore it five years before I was photographed in it, it’s just that no-one was paying attention at the time.”
-On good manners and understanding the value of things: “I wasn’t always that way. I took a lot of years to understand the value of things and the value of the people you work with,” he continued. “The value of your fans who ultimately hold you high and lift you up. We’re just hang gliders, dude, and they are carrying us around.”
