We're a bit flashy, but the music's not one big noise.

The others don't like my interviews. And frankly, I don't care much for theirs.

If we're weird onstage, I don't know what you'd call the Tubes.

But, you know, we spent two years putting our act together.

In the early days, we just wore black onstage. Very bold, my dear. Then we introduced white, for variety, and it simply grew and grew.

I'm not into business at all.

Is Billy Idol just doing a bad Elvis pout, or was he born that way?

I guess I've always lived the glamorous life of a star. It 's nothing new - I used to spend down to the last dime.

And, we have no such thing as a budget anymore. Our manager freaks when we show him the bill. We're lavish to the bone, but all our money goes back into the product.

I got my diploma from Ealing College of Art, in graphics and illustration.
