| What are your obsessions? | "I collect James Bond videos. I've got six Sean Connerys, seven Roger Moores, one George Lazenby, two Timothy Daltons and a Pierce Brosnan. I bought a safari suit for £15 the other day in a second-hand shop in London, probably subconsciously because it was a bit James Bond-y. "I love The Bee Gees as well, especially Barry Gibb - he was so corny he was cool. Can I imagine Bee Gees fans being into Mansun? Well, there are Bee Gees fans in Mansun... I love that look: the flares, the tight trousers. And "Saturday Night Fever" (featuring Bee Gees soundtrack) - that bit where John Travolta's sitting down at dinner, ready to go out, with a towel on and his dad hits his hair - brilliant. |
