I hear bands say they don't know what country they are in at times. Now I understand because we sleep at weird times and are always in different places - but I'm not moaning. It's all fun.

We used to have quirky weird bands that made dance music like the Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode and I think people have still got an appetite for that type of music-melody and darkness.

I think all of the best songs are about heartbreak and love.

We could perform in space or be the first band to play moon, but we want to be the first 'Star Wars' band.

Felt really low as a teenager and hearing music from artists that could express their pain in a way that is beautiful and made me feel better about the way I felt and I think that is something that anyone can relate to.

I used to travel a lot as a kid and when I first moved to England I felt lonely and my parents were splitting up at the time.

My mum listened to stuff like Alanis Morissette and Tori Amos, but she also listened to a lot of '80s stuff like Heart. I still quite like Heart.

I get to do my own thing with music. I get to write the songs and sing the songs. As an actor, you have to do what someone else tells you to do and say someone else's words. And you're limited by the way you look and music is just more rewarding creatively for me.

Now, to be a mainstream act, you have to be firing on all cylinders on so many different platforms. You've got to have a social media voice. You've got to do promo on TV. You've got to tour everywhere.

I feel like listening to sad songs are a way of narrating your life and confirming your identity.

All the best songs have an element of sadness.

I feel like you could listen to any Bon Iver song and it would make you cry. They're all so heart-wrenching.

I'd love to work with SBTRKT if he'd have me.

At 13 I taught myself piano from an old song book, and Joni Mitchell's 'Both Sides Now' was the first song I learned.

I grew up loving artists like the Spice Girls and Britney Spears - artists who seemed to live this fantasy lifestyle, and I remember always wanting to join these fantasy people in that world.

I come from a single-parent family and my Mum is super liberal.

I'm a big believer that if you want things to change you have to embody that change.

I'm the person I am because of all the support we have but inside there is still a scared, gay kid, worried he's going to get bullied and people aren't going to like what I do.

When I go on stage and perform, I'm an extreme version of myself.

I've always loved sci-fi and fantasy.

I'm fascinated by technology and how it is changing the way we live and view our humanity.

The likelihood is that you or someone you know closely will suffer from a mental health condition in your lifetime.

It's like any other part of your body - your mental health gets sick, and it needs treatment.

I've mostly worked in weird films playing weird characters, probably because I'm a weird person.

I don't know what's wrong with me - I don't know why I only get picked to play strange characters!

I just feel lucky to be able to do stuff I enjoy.

The majority of the film industry is, like, obsessed with a ridiculous gender binary and keeping with this stupid social binary. Like, who cares?

Women are so appallingly represented in movies.

Words are important. They do matter.

As young as 10 I started fancying boys. It's a common experience but I just wished I wasn't gay up until the age of 18 or 19.

I can be a really awkward frontman on stage.

It's just a very weird thing to have a relationship that's commented on by the world wide web.

I always had really, really bad nightmares, like night terrors or whatever they're called. I used to wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to move... I'd hallucinate and have really scary visions and dreams, so I wouldn't want to sleep.

I think kids are all focused on their hierarchy and status, and I was low status or something.

I think anything that happens to you between the ages of zero to 18, and probably further on, has a lasting impact on you.

Normal is not a thing. No one's actually normal.

I don't want to be normal, I don't want to grow up.

I was obsessed with Jeff Buckley for a while - I was convinced that Jeff Buckley and I were communicating with each other through time.

I had such intense self-loathing for so long.

My sexuality is part of my music, part of my identity.

I had what would now be called sleep paralysis, from six years old until maybe I was 16.

My dad had been very absent, even when he was there. Then he left the family and moved away. Our relationship, it feels to me, ended when I was 13.

Solitude is very restorative for me, especially because I spend so much time around other people and performing to people.

I'm not saying that being straight is easy, but when you're gay, you don't really have a familial network or support system. You have to find that.

I identify as a gay man all the time, but I also like to identify as queer.

We have to listen and learn from each other to lift each other up, so we can all live the life we deserve.

There's entrenched homophobia behind the scenes at all levels of the music industry.

I've been taking medication for depression and anxiety ever since I was a teenager and I've had treatment for both.

I genuinely do want the world to change in a positive way, but I wouldn't call myself an activist, you know? I'm an entertainer who engages with activism because it feels really meaningful for me.

Personally, I've always been ashamed of my body and I've hated being so skinny - I had an eating disorder for so long.
