"Being a mod is more of a sensibility than a style."
"On the one hand, we're constantly told about recycling and cutting back, and on the other hand we have to buy the next gadget that comes along three weeks after the last one you bought. It's absolutely insane. We've been suckered into buying and buying and upgrading and upgrading. We're being given two very different mantras at the moment, I think."

"Name anything - high-definition TV, computer obsolescence - and I'm pretty much annoyed by it."
"I'm not posh or common, I'm in between."
"I love that pre-mod jazz look of the late Fifties, the Steve McQueen style that influenced the British modernists."
"I've got a stag weekend coming up and I've said I'm not doing anything more than a few drinks. I won't have it. I'll go home and watch Antiques Roadshow."
