The elitism of fur makes me wanna puke.

I was in rock music in London when it was the height of Brit pop, with The Kinks revival and Suede and Blur and Oasis, and all of those really great bands that were of a certain style.

Instead, I did this ridiculous thing of trying to do this music.

That's where I feel guilty because I know that life is going on full-speed when I'm not around.
