I love being a freak. It's great!
From Brian Molko
The more you'll dress up the more fun you'll have.
Dresses, I find, are impractical in social situations, but I enjoy wearing them a great deal on stage.
I'm tired of being around men all the time. I'm going to start a band called Skirt with three girls and I'll play the guitar and sing backing vocals in drag. I went window shopping when I was in New York, saw a lot of amazing dresses.
I've always found music that is carnal very attractive but not in the most obvious way.
Placebo is music for outsiders, by outsiders and our gigs are like conventions of outcasts, which is cool.
My mouth has a tendency to get me into trouble, but because I'm so small and I take on people who are lager than me. If someone punched me, I'd get my drummer beat them up.
Being so honest in my writing is cathartic.
So, then you find yourself in a situation where you have to do things because they're on offer to you, because you don't have much self-respect left. You just can't say no, even to something that you've never done before. You just can't help yourself.
The extreme side of my personality, which I chose to sort of display, was snowballing and getting a life of its own. It was like looking in a mirror and not recognising myself.
