A lot of composers before me have been on this mission to change the world by getting off equal temperament, and I'm definitely one of those.

It's only interesting when you're from somewhere else, like America or Japan. The further away the more interesting it is.

In Britain, it's good for me to be anonymous, because they just think it's a nobody. "Who is this guy?"

I'm just some irritating, lying, ginger kid from Cornwall who should have been locked up in some youth detention centre. I just managed to escape and blag it into music.

The holy grail for a music fan, I think, is to hear music from another planet, which has not been influenced by us whatsoever.

In America, it's quite admirable if someone's done well or been successful at whatever it is. Whereas in Britain, they're not. They only like it when you're the underdog.

it's more interesting for me to stick things out anonymously. You get more of an honest reaction to what you've done.
