Once Christine [Bateman, make-up artist] was even approached by Rosie's manager and asked if she would tone down my make-up. Christine told me straight away and for my next TV interview I appeared in super-grotesque style. "When I talked to Rosie about this, she said: 'I understand. You're like me. When someone tells me not to do something I say, F**k 'em. It makes me want to do it more.' "Like me, she has a similar contempt for authority but yet she can be so authoritarian. Don't you often end up being the thing you rebel against?"
