My job as artistic director at the Brighton digital agency Lighthouse is all about trying to show that digital culture is about more than just tools and gadgets - it's about perceiving the societal transformations being brought about by technology.
I miss Brighton enormously, enormously. There is so much I miss, including rain. I miss the verdant countryside.
Brighton gives me the heebie-jeebies. When I'm near the seafront I can't sleep, I can't eat.
In fact, Moon came on tour with us for a bit just before a big festival in Brighton, I think.
I know that Brighton is famously a mixture of the seedy and the elegant, but in the summer of 2001 seediness swamped elegance hands down.
Of course, New Brighton is very shabby, very rundown, but people still go there because it's the place where you take kids out on a Sunday.
Playing Joanne in 'London to Brighton' was my first taste of film, and I loved every second of it.
I felt Brighton was a perfect ending to a really interesting career.
When I moved to Brighton from London in 1995, I was struck by what I thought of as its townliness. A town, it seemed to me, was that perfect place to live, neither city nor country, both of which like to think they are light years apart but actually have a great deal in common.
I love San Francisco and Brighton has something of San Francisco about it. It's by the sea, there's a big gay community, a feeling of people being there because they enjoy their life there.
