I tried to be a goth for a while. I'd pour baby powder on my face and paint my lips black, but that didn't last long. I thought I looked cool at the time. But then you look back and wonder, 'Why did anyone let me out of the house looking like that?'

To me, goth is like really hard black lipstick, black nails, black clothes.

I don't know why people think I'm a Goth - that's a misconception.

I was a goth girl in high school. Perhaps the powdered white face and the black lipstick were not the most attractive. I felt fabulous at the time but looking back, uh, probably not the best idea.

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

It's definitely an intrinsic part of my makeup that makes me want to see black when everyone else is seeing white.

I always get the 'goth girl' thing because I wear black. But I don't worship death.

I was silver-white by the time I was 35, but having grey hair makes me look washed out. My wife and son have both said that grey hair doesn't suit me because I have a boyish face.

I lived with my auntie and my cousin when I was growing up, and they always wore black, and I thought it was quite chic. It wasn't a goth or a social group sort of thing.
