"The thing about drugs and sex is that you lose all your inhibitions. I've had sex in trains, planes, wine bars... and quite a few car parks!"
About this Quote
The subtext is celebrity logistics. For a pop star, privacy is scarce, intimacy is negotiated around touring, adrenaline, and opportunity. These aren't romantic locations; they're functional, improvised, almost grimy. That bluntness sells authenticity, a key currency for an artist whose fame has often been entwined with tabloid spectacle and public self-destruction. He's not describing seduction so much as disinhibition as a lifestyle hazard - how the body becomes another place to perform when the usual boundaries dissolve.
Culturally, it lands in that late-90s/early-00s mode where British lad excess was both condemned and rewarded. Williams plays the lovable rogue who tells you the ugly part with a grin, inviting you to laugh while quietly admitting he couldn't stop. The joke is also an alibi: if it's funny, it's survivable.
