I guess I'm dedicated to breaking every inherited mould I can in my private life.
Everything we do is art, philosophy, mysticism, cultural commentary.
I've had all my teeth replaced with solid gold replicas of the originals.
'Pagan Day' was Alex Fergusson's idea. It was him that encouraged me to start making music again and start Psychic TV.
I would experiment with porridge - make porridge pancakes, fry porridge - and so friends started calling me 'Porridge.' But I got to feel that I was becoming a character, a work of fiction, in a sense.
Why is there no cure for cancer? Because the medical industry doesn't want one! And the pharmaceutical industry doesn't want one! Because they would lose too much money!

I've always felt that all the music I've made is psychedelic, including Throbbing Gristle.

I always felt that everything that happened was incredibly exhilarating and massively puzzling at the same time. I can even remember, when I was six or seven, digging a hole beneath a tree. And I would go into this tomb, this cave that I had made, and would lie there, meditating, for hours.

I am so sick and tired of being told what I'm supposed to look like!
We don't agree with Caitlyn Jenner deciding she is the spokesperson for trans people.
We've always said Psychic TV's music is the sum total of who's in it at the time.
My father gave me a copy of 'Seven Years in Tibet,' and that's what turned me on to Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism.
Imagination should always be treasured, even when it's slightly off-key.
