For me, Gothic is something from my youth, when I had a heavy metal phase.

So I may not have had a gothic childhood, but childhood makes its own gothicity.

Oh, I had my gothy phase, but I was never a troublemaker or anything like that. I was a little bit introspective, a little bit morbid. I was small for my age, so I was bullied and that kind of stuff.

I wouldn't consider myself Goth, but I love Gothic pieces.

I went through a mod and goth-phase when I decided that I wouldn't ever be the bronzed beach-bunny. I started going as pale as I possibly could.

I wanted to keep a Gothic cathedral alive in my heart.

I wanted to get back to my style of 20 years ago after a long period of exploring horror and fantasy themes.

The Goth character was a difficult thing to get my head round. I'm not really a fan of Goth music. I'm more a piano and guitar man - that's what I love.

I couldn't go now to a brand that had a niche attitude like... gothic. I couldn't do that. Well, I could do it, but I wouldn't find it interesting, challenging.
